About the Museum
The Museum of Hoaxes is dedicated to promoting knowledge about hoaxes. (Click here for opening hours, etc.) On our blog we post about dubious- sounding claims, and whatever else strikes our fancy. The site is also home to the Hoaxipedia (the museum's online encyclopedia of hoaxes), the Hoax Forum, and the Top 100 April Fools' Day Hoaxes.
The museum was created in 1997 by Alex Boese. He's assisted by a staff of deputy curators and docents. Alex is the author of three books, most recently Elephants on Acid: And Other Bizarre Experiments (which has nothing to do with hoaxes). Check out the list of the Top 20 Most Bizarre Experiments of All Time for a preview.

Pork Stone
Status: Real
No, it's not pork. It's "pork stone." Sohu.com has posted these pictures (which they, in turn, got from the China News Network) of stone that looks like pork. Apparently this stone has been on display at the Suzhou International Expo, and has been attracting a lot of attention.Reportedly, the stone hasn't been altered in any way. It's naturally formed in the earth to look like slabs of pork. It's selling for 120 yuan (about $16) per kg. (via spluch)

You know... retraint and good taste are keeping me from making a joke about 'rock hard pork'... but not by much.

Posted by Christopher in Joplin, Missouri on Fri Oct 12, 2007 at 05:49 AMIs that bacon? Honey, I love you!
Looks like an agate of some kind. I think I'd buy some. I like the striations in the lower left bacon.
This would be a great joke for a vegetarian to give to a meat lover. Heh.

I agree with RainOubliette, they look like they are very large agates.

Posted by darren on Thu Oct 18, 2007 at 07:45 AMWhere are they getting it from? One location spot I presume, in which a unatural grouping of deposits must have occured somewhere in time..... and that's if it was discovered in/of the earth.
I'm just going by your sites info. I haven't looked up the links.
