The Truth - Somtimes it IS stranger than fiction...

How weird is this? This Yahoo story describes a 300 year old book, recently discovered in Northern England, that is bound in human skin. Did you know that this practice was not exactly uncommon? According to the article it was a common practice to bind the trial transcripts of murderers with their skin. This was sometimes done with anatomy books as well. And here I only thought that this was done with unholy books of spells used to summon the elder gods to destroy humanity. Go figure.
