Did you know your nails carry on growing after you die. :blink:

That is again an incorrect fact.

 

 

When you die all your tissues die. Your body shrinks because it loses water, your nails (or hair for that fact) have no water in them and hence dont shrink. Thus, it appears that they have grown. But they have not, they have remained the same, it is your fingers which have shrunk.
