Baby Blues “My aunt went out of town, and I had to baby-sit my two-year-old cousin. That night, when I was putting her to bed, I brushed her teeth with this baby toothpaste that my aunt had laid out. I kept noticing my cousin was making all these funny faces, but I just kept brushing. Turns out, I was brushing her teeth with diaper rash lotion that was next to the toothpaste! The next morning, she woke up sick - and no one knew why except me!” Maureen

Such a cutie! For her new album cover, Beyoncé only agreed to pose with an alligator if its mouth was taped shut. “The first alligator they got was 13 feet long,” Beyoncé says. “They were like, ‘He’s fine. He just ate.’ But then I saw his trainer, who had stitches and a bloody head. I said, ‘No thank you, we’ll just have to add the photo in production.’ But I did hold a baby one. He was really cute, but since his mouth was taped, he didn’t have any way to defend himself. He was upset, so he peed on me and spoilt my new Gucci dress!”

CHICKEN HEAD A supermarket chain is investigating after a woman found a chicken’s head ‘staring’ at her from a spicy chicken wing meal. Anika Cumings, 29, from Cardiff, said: “It wasn’t until it was near my mouth that I realised there was a beak, two missing eyes, a skull and a little neck”. A spokesman for the Iceland chain said ‘a full investigation’ was under way.

Lucky Handyman A Do-It-Yourself enthusiast who slipped and fell while fixing the roof of his holiday home was saved from almost certain death after nailing himself to the building. As he tried to stop himself from falling, Jan Madsen (28) accidentally fired the nail gun through his knee and pierced a wooden beam. It took emergency crews more than an hour to free Mr Madsen from the roof of the house. He is expected to make a full recovery.

BICYCLE BELL ALERT The Government plans to bring in a new law saying every bicycle must have a bell and every cyclist must use it to alert pedestrians to their presence. Those found guilty of riding without a bell will face on-the-spot fines, with maximum penalties of up to £2,500 or two years in jail. Graeme Obree, the Scottish world record-holding cyclist, called the new law a ‘pointless exercise’. He said: ”If a cyclist is about to hit a pedestrian, he’s not going to hit a bell - he’s going to shout. What policeman is going to enforce a law like this? Only civil servants could come up with crazy ideas like this.”
