In stories this week, we have a paper poster updating the weather in real time, artwork made from used telephone keyboards, the world's first fully automated toilet for dogs, rings and accessories created using human teeth, and an ingenious rotating indoor garden that saves space.

All the odd and interesting anecdotes from around the world are here in our news review.
