Cucumber a slice of life for wife, transplanted kidney turns man into female

... a Croatian woman submitted a pickled cucumber for a place as the world's oldest in the Guinness Book of Records.

Vera Dudas, a 73-year-old widow from Duga Resa, claims the cucumber was pickled by her mother-in-law when her late husband was born in 1930.

She has had the cucumber insured and says it's her only reminder of her late husband Pavao ... "I remember my entire married life when I look at that cucumber," she said.

Meanwhile, a Croatian lumberjack has sued his health authority since receiving a female kidney ... claims it has turned him off drinking with his mates and now ... "I have developed a passion for female jobs like ironing, sewing, washing dishes, sorting clothes in wardrobes and even knitting," he said.
