CNN —Archaeologists in Germany have uncovered a centuries-old skeleton complete with a metal prosthetic hand to replace four missing fingers. This would make the prosthetic hand potentially almost 600 years old. A bandage-like fabric was found inside the prosthetic hand, suggesting that it was used to cushion the stump. And an even older, 3,000-year-old prosthetic wooden toe was uncovered by archaeologists in Egypt in 1997. Worn by a priest’s daughter, the toe was was made to both enable walking and look aesthetically natural, archaeologists later discovered.

BERLIN, Nov 8 (Reuters) - Former Pope Benedict XVI plans to defend himself in a civil lawsuit lodged at a German court by a man who accuses him of helping to cover up historical abuse, a court spokesperson said on Tuesday. A spokesperson for the Traustein court confirmed a report by the DPA press agency that the former Pope would defend himself through a law firm. That does not mean that Benedict, now 95, will himself appear in court in his defense. But a court spokesperson said that the court can demand that defendants appear. "If they don't, the reputational damage will grow and the Catholic Church will hasten the erosion of faith," said Schulz, confirming comments he made to DPA.
