A human skull was discovered in the Halloween section of a charity shop in Florida. An "eagle-eyed anthropologist" in the store spotted the skull and suspected it belonged to a human, officials said. The store owner told investigators the skull had been in a storage unit after being purchased several years ago. Under local laws, "no person shall knowingly offer to purchase or sell … any human organ or tissue for valuable consideration", noted STV News.

K-Pop get their Rangers mixed up

The K-Pop giants STAYC have told a crowd at Ibrox "we love Rangers" after they accidentally wore one of the club's shirts during a gig in Texas. Instead of wearing local baseball team Texas Rangers tops at the US gig, they appeared in 1990s kits worn by Glasgow Rangers. Following the mix-up, Rangers FC invited the group to the Glasgow stadium, where they introduced themselves to the K-pop fans who gathered outside, noted the BBC.
