Police have warned people to stay away from a two-and-a-half stone monitor lizard which is on the loose in a built-up area.

Fido, which is about two-and-a-half feet long, escaped from a secure aquarium in a flat in Hull on Thursday.

Humberside Police said that although it is not poisonous, it may bite anyone who approaches him.

A spokeswoman added: "The owner of Fido said he might try to find a place that he can feel secure, such as a pile of rubbish or leaves.

"He will only eat something the size of a large rat but will not attack anything bigger unless provoked.

"In this temperature he may only survive three to five days."

Anyone who sees Fido should contact police on 01482 597500.

A Dutch restaurateur invented an exotic new scorpion dish - and nearly killed herself and her colleagues.

Michele Keijers thought she would impress her customers with the spicy meal.

The scorpion was killed humanely, the poison neutralized and the dish prepared in hot sauce.

Luckily for the customers, Michelle tried it first on herself and two other workers at Cocoloco, her Mexican restaurant in Breda.

Michelle told De Telegraaf: "It was just as I imagined. Like lobster and very spicy."

But three hours later, all three needed hospital treatment after they started to vomit, shiver, hallucinate and suffer heartbeat disturbances.

After she returned to her restaurant, Michele said: "It was a very special culinary experience. I'm glad Išve done it. But it isnšt the sort of experience one can offer to clients. Once and never again."

Our last instance of Beefheart name-dropping for this update was sent along by Gene Hopstetter who wrote about a recent gig he attended:

Robyn Hitchcock, during a performance at Maxwell's this Halloween, did an impromptu recitation of "My Human Gets Me Blues" and "Neon Meat Dream Of A Octafish". He asked his audience, "You don't know that one? I'll have to buy you all a copy of Trout Mask Replica for Christmas."
