A british gardener got a lot more than vitamin A with her carrots last week, after finding a long-lost gold ring while harvesting her vegetables.
69-year-old Lin Keitch from Somerset noticed the sparkler while she was washing her carrots, and remembered it had disappeared 12 years ago.
In a "chance in a million" discovery, the carrot seems to have grown right through the amethyst ring which had been a 40th birthday present from husband Dave.
Excellent lung capacity combined with extraordinary dexterity has seen an 18-year-old student set a new Guinness World Record this week.
Vako Marchelashvili from Tbilisi in the former Soviet republic of Georgia, managed to solve six Rubik's cubes under water in a single breath.
The feat saw him submerged in a giant glass tank for one minute and 44 seconds as he solved the puzzles in front of a large crowd at an aquarium.
He said he had been preparing for the challenge for six months.
"I trained a lot planning to break a record - and to ensure my safety, because even a small mistake could be dangerous and life-altering," he said afterwards.
He beat the previous underwater record of five cubes, set by Anthony Brooks in the USA in 2014.
