A woman driver was caught flossing her teeth at 70mph on a motorway. Traffic police spotted the driver, 36, on the M4 motorway using dental floss to clean her teeth in her rear view mirror. She was pulled over, lectured about careless driving and given a fixed penalty notice of £60. Police say it is the latest example of people risking lives for a moment of high-speed vanity.

This is inspiring: In 2005 the National Toy Hall of Fame inducted the cardboard box.
“I think every adult has had that disillusioning experience of picking what they think is a wonderful toy for a child, and then finding the kid playing with the box,” said chief curator Christopher Bensch. “It’s that empty box full of possibilities that the kids can sense and the adults don’t always see.”

He added, “A lot of people tell me I’m...
