Caveman shopper hoax: off-topic, but too funny not to post
STAFF at the British Museum have been left with red faces after discovering a hoax exhibit on display: a cave painting of a primitive man - pushing a supermarket trolley [that would be a shopping cart on this side of the Atlantic]. The "rock painting", titled Early Man Goes to Market, depicts the outline of a spear-wielding caveman next to the outline of a pig, with the man pushing a trolley. The painting was planted by anonymous "art terrorist" Banksy, whose work failed to raise eyebrows at one of London's most famous museums.
