Man eats radioactive strawberry


A man was admitted to a busy A&E department complaining of "spasmodic luminosity last week." Donald Fruit of Westchester Green had eaten a "very bright" strawberry and several hours later began to feel queasy. Upon stripping to the waist Mr. Fruit noticed a glow beneath the surface of the stomach.

"I swallowed it whole." he said. "Otherwise it might have made my whole stomach glow.

A geiger counter confirmed that strawberry was radioactive and investigations are under way to establish whether there may be a link between the strawberry and sightings of an alien creature running naked through the woods nearby shouting: "Has anyone seen my radioactive strawberry?"
