How Early Man Hunted

Art terrorist Banksy has struck again, and this time his victim was the British Museum.

Banksy put up a fake rock painting that showed prehistoric man "hunting" with a shopping trolley, and it was a couple of days before museum staff noticed.
They took it in stride, though, and have generously "loaned" the artwork back to the artist for an Outside Institute exhibition, and expect the hoax rock painting to be returned.
The British Museum are a canny lot. Post-notoriety, Banksy's prank art will probably soon be worth big money.
