Heh.  Even better is the story about the Chinese newspaper that plagiarized
an article from, of all places, The Onion.  When it realized it was

offbeat news to trick people into noticing them with the aim of making
money."

The story?  The US Congress was threatening to walk out unless they got a
retractable roof.  :)
