ISRAEL. - Backyard gardeners, here's a challenge. An Israeli man thinks he may have grown the world's longest cucumber and he wasn't even trying.
Seventy-year-old Itzak Yazdenpana was picking cucumbers when he uncovered this one 46.5 inches long.
The current Guinness record is 36.1 inches, grown by a man in England, so he may have a run at the record.
