Divorced almost 50 years ago, 85-year-old couple remarries

Lena Henderson and Roland Davis pose in West Seneca, N.Y., outside Buffalo. The 85-year-old couple married again nearly 50 years after they divorced. They first married while in their teens, had four children and then divorced 20 years later, in 1964.

Cupid does it again! He rekindled their love for each other after being divorced for nearly 50 years.

The 85-year old Lena Henderson and Roland Davis retied the knot in a church in Buffalo.USA recently with four generations of family watching,including the four children they had while being married earlier

They got married as teenagers in Chattanooga,Tenne. During the World War 2 and not at a church. "I always thought it might happen," Davis, a military vet whose second wife died in January, said. "It was always in the back of my mind. We're just thankful that we could get back together."

"I think we just kept thinking about each other all the time, even though we were so far apart," said Henderson, a widow after her second marriage. After divorcing in 1964 -- nobody is saying why -- they kept in touch, even as Davis moved around the world. His new wife even used to call Henderson for advice. They last saw each other in 1996 at a family funeral.

"The way they would act to each other never indicated there was anything but a friendship between them," their youngest daughter, Renita Chadwick, told the Buffalo paper. "My mother never had a harsh or contrary word to say about my dad, and my dad never had anything but loving remarks to make about my mother."

"Every person I share this story with smiles, cries or laughs," Chadwick said. Davis proposed over the phone at Easter. He arrived in suburban West Seneca from Colorado Springs with an engagement ring "pinned to my T-shirt" so he wouldn't lose it. A reception will follow, but, once again, no honeymoon trip. "I'm just happy that we're here," said Davis. "You don't think people are going to get married at this age," he added. "ÓWe're just thankful we've lived this long and that we're still here. We have a lot to be thankful for."

World's ugliest dog

Scientists untangle the roots of hairless breeds-moles, "weird" skin, and all.

Bald is beautiful? The U.K.-based Chinese crested Mugly, new king of unsightly canines.

Who is the ugliest dog of 2012?

It is Mugly, the Chinese crested canine, the winner almost every year for the past decade, a Chinese crested has won the World's Ugliest Dog Contest in Petaluma, California. This year was no exception. Eight-year-old Mugly, a bald and beady-eyed crested who sports stringy whiskers weirdly reminiscent of dental floss was selected as the ugliest dog this year What makes the dog so ugly is its signature hairlessness, said Adam Boyko, an authority on canine genetics at Cornell University says. "Presumably it's just an ancient mutation that happened one time, and breeders liked it and propagated it," Boyko said. "You don't see packs of wild hairless dogs running around Geneticist Teresa Gunn agreed. "It's all because of people, not natural evolution," said Gunn, of the McLaughlin Research Institute, who studies the evolution of canine breeds.

"It's people saying, Yeah, let's have small dogs. Let's have hairless dogs, because we don't want them to shed, or because we live somewhere hot, or, you know, just because they're weird."

How does hairlessness affect the dog?

"We don't really know [of any benefits]. Maybe [the dog] cools off faster," Boyko muses. "But then there's also sunburn. In Peru hairless dogs are almost always wearing sweaters. When you take them off you can see tan lines."

 Grandmother has world's longest nails

Stepping out from a black stretch limousine Chris Walton a flamboyant 45-year-old grandmother with a huge bottle-blond hairdo posed on the steps of the ornate main New York Public Library, displaying her stretched and curved nails. It was bazaar sight to watch!

And if Chris Walton ever started biting her nails, she'd probably wear her teeth out: the Las Vegas resident has been declared to be the woman with the longest nails in the world. The professional singer with a combined total of nearly 6m of nails celebrated in New York after being named in the newly released 2012 edition of the Guinness Book of Records.

The nail on her ring finger is the length of a human arm, her left pinky is the length of a fire hydrant, and it would take only 484 versions of her left thumb nails to stretch all the way up to the top of the Empire State Building.

Stuart Claxton, a spokesman for the Guinness Book of Records, called her a "unique beauty". Walton, who sings in Vegas and goes by the stage name The Dutchess, has been growing her nails for 18 years. She says she doesn't drink milk or stick to any other nail-friendly diet. "Candy and a lot of patience," she said was her secret.

She does have a problem getting anything out of a pocket, but she uses her knuckles to text on a mobile phone and adds zippers or buttons to sleeves so that she can put on jackets. "I don't swim, but it's not the nails that stop me swimming. It's a hair thing," she said.

Walton is not married - she says she is "in self-love" - but she assures that the nails keep men around her interested.

Now that she has the Guinness record, she's ready to think about dusting off the clippers. The only hitch: she'll have to pare the nails back a little bit at a time.

"If I cut them all off I know I will not be able to do anything," she said. "I'm so used to having nails I'd be running into walls and doors."

"The fact that the Dutchess has the longest fingernails is a fact. She's a perfectly normal, rational woman," Claxton said. "We're actually celebrating these people."

English tourist Lynne Hannah, who was walking past the library in central Manhattan, was not enticed to give up her own fake nails after glimpsing the Dutchess. "She can't be doing much housework. How does she even drive the car? It's something you'd see in a freak show," Hannah, 46, said.
