This is true. It is because Vitamin A, something carrots are rich in, is fat soluble, instead of water soluble. If you intake Vitamin A in very significant qualities faster than it can dissolve into your body's natural stores of fat, it will amass near your skin, thus giving the skin an orange color.
I'd have to say B.S though I did hear about some guys whos skin turned orange after drinking too much Sunny D, then again, Sunny Ds label holds all the chemicals under the sun...not the best taste :evil2:

B.S.! The phenomenon that hair and nails continue to grow after death has a serious spook factor but is just an illusion, said Dr. Kitha Griffin, a dermatologist in private practice in Atlanta. "After death, the skin surrounding the hair and nails will shrink and decompose at a greater rate than the hair and nails themselves," she said.
what?! i'm RIGHT!
do you understand cell respiration? when you die, all the ATP (energy currency, in laymans terms) does not just magically disappear. this allows the cell to continue its normal function until the ATP runs out (a very short time, as no glucose is coming in and being broken down). anyways, the cells i am talking about (skin cells) will CONTINUE to produce the proteins for hair and nails (hair and nails are protein produced by skin cells) as long as they have the ATP to do so.
and to the second one, not BS. happened to me when i was an infant... i turned orange after being on a carrot-rich diet for a while.
Nyarlathotep must all things be told
for he is the messenger between the spheres
and the traveler between the realms of the living and the dead.
He shall summon forth the ancient ones
and wake them from their deathly slumber
then shall the elder signs be shattered. Trade Thread

The phenomenon is called hypercarotenemia and the orange tint shows up mostly in the palms of the hands.
Although you do have to ingest a hell of a lot...
