Doctors have discovered a baby tooth lodged inside an 8-year-old boy's ear three years after he placed it under his pillow for the tooth fairy. According to the British Medical Journal, the boy had woken up upset one night three years ago claiming the tooth fairy had put a tooth in his left ear. His parents assumed he just had a bad dream and put him back to bed. The case perplexed a number of doctors until a CT scan identified the baby tooth.
Avoid the pre-Christmas traffic, take a ... Mummobile

That way you don't need to come all the way into town in the pre-Christmas traffic.' She boards a train at Britomart at 8.45pm - it's scheduled to leave at 8.53pm and due at the New Lynn hub at 9.25pm. It finally leaves almost half an hour late (updates are not clear about the delay, so rather than leaving the pre-paid train to look for a bus, she waits expectantly). This train is obviously not going to connect with the bus and it will be dark when it finally arrives at 9.50pm. There are no taxis waiting outside the transport centre either - because the train is not on schedule. Just as well Mum didn't have more than one wine."
