German gymnast Johanna Quaas, who holds the Guinness world record as the oldest competitive gymnast in the world, turned 100 yesterday.
She started gymnastics at the age of 56 and broke the record in 2012, at the age of 86, when she performed a floor and beam routine.

A dead sperm whale has washed up on Nantucket for the first time in decades. It’s too big to move — at least until officials figure out a plan.
Dead Sperm Whale on Nantucket Is Too Big to Move, for Now
A local nonprofit said the 52-ton mammal is “far too big, awkward and heavy to remove.” A town official later said it could be dragged out to sea by Thanksgiving.
