VIRAL VIDEO OF THE DAY - IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BABIES

IF YOU DON'T LAUGH ALONG TO THIS THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU...

AND TRY THIS ONE FOR SIZE...
A home video of a toddler biting his brother's finger and then smiling broadly has become a YouTube hit, with more than 65 million views.

The clip , which was only intended to be seen by the boys' godfather overseas, is now the twelfth most popular video ever uploaded onto the website. Titled Charlie Bit My Finger – Again, the clip has made unlikely international stars of brothers Harry 5, and Charlie, 2. It has featured on television shows in the US and even sparked fan clubs for the boys in countries including Lebanon and Belize. Parents Howard and Shelley Howard Davies-Carr, from Buckinghamshire, said that they had been overwhelmed by the popularity of the video, which they posted in March 2007. "To say the response has been insane is not even close. My sons are now almost legendary. People want their autographs – it's just crazy," said Mr Davies-Carr, an IT consultant. "Last August there were only 20 hits a day. By Christmas I was stunned to see it hit a million," he told The Sun newspaper. The boys are shy about their new fame and get embarrassed when the clip is shown on television, according to their mother who has just given birth to a third son, Jasper.
