LOL!!! But why not? Stranger things have happened...

I used to bite my finger nails pretty much right down to the quick. To all intents and purposes, I didn't have any nails. And then I decided to stop, and grow my nails long. I trim then when they get so long it's tricky to type, but that's it. With this thread starting up here, and my old memories of Norse mythology resurfacing, I have to admit that I feel a little (just a very little) uncomfortable with the idea. I don't quite know why.
