She's got legs, she knows how to use them

That old ZZ Top song might have been written for Svetlana Pankratova, the woman with the world's longest legs...a whopping 51.9 inches long, to be exact. That's 15.1 inches shy of my entire height!

(It's true. I actually did the math: I'm 5'7" which is 68 inches. 68 - 51.9 = yes, 15.1 inches!!) That means her legs would stop at, approximately, my bust line.

Svetlana, from Russia, who stands 6'5" tall, was in New York City today to kick off a week-long celebration of record-breaking events for Guiness World Records. Click on the photo to get the full view of those incredible gams (and feet!) She's shown with Stuart Claxton, head U.S. adjudicator for Guiness, who is making a confirmation measurement.

That's just 10 inches shorter than my height! You would think she'd be taller than 6-5, wouldn't you?
