Archaeologists in Paderborn unearthed an exceptionally well-preserved 700–800-year-old leather notebook from a latrine. The tiny book uses wax-coated pages that could be etched and erased, making it a reusable record-keeping tool likely owned by a privileged 13th–14th-century individual, perhaps a merchant. The find came with silk scraps thought to be toilet paper, and researchers plan noninvasive scans to read its Latin contents, which promise insights into medieval life and writing practices.

Zander, a former circus trainer known as the 'Tiger Queen,' reportedly did not have a permit to keep big cats as of last year per PETA, which called the incident a wake‑up call about safety. The tiger was one of eight at the site, and a local rescue center offered to relocate the remaining animals while officials urged the enclosure's closure.
