From The "Not Quite News File"

Is this for real?

Quote:

Bonsai originates from China, not Japan: Expert
Press Trust of India
Beijing, August 27

A Chinese bonsai expert has claimed that bonsai, the art of growing miniature tress originated in China and not in Japan as believed world-wide.

http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_52293,0005.htm

I almost put this on the news page, but it was too ridiculous. Has this author spent the last twelve centuries under a rock?

Next headline - Televisions developed in the United States, not Japan, as previously believed?

TV might have been developed in the US but it wasn't invented there! Doing a Steven Spielberg, Matt?? Janice Scotland, home of the inventors of quite a few familiar items
