    Question #41369. griffinj asks:

    What was unique about the French journal of the 1860s 'La Naiade?'


    TabbyTom

    		It was printed on waterproofed paper, so that it could be read in the bath. I can’t find a mention on the web in English, but here’s a French page about it:

    		Actually, TT, my source said rubber, but I think your answer rates a YEA.
    Excellent idea, don't you think?

    		Well, griffin, when I saw the question, I vaguely remembered reading a very long time ago about a journal printed on rubber (it might have been in Ripley’s Believe It Or Not or some book like that). So maybe your source is right and mine is wrong.
