"2000-year-old piece of Qin dynasty armor" that was made from plastic.

Huh. How do you suppose they figured out it was fake?

Lots of fakes out there. A friend asked me what her coins were worth - some real old silver dollars. On my first test of their authenticity I found that a magnet clung to the coin so hard you could hardly pull it off.

Sorry, babe.

Obviously they had 3-D printing back then.

Wonder where they plugged it in?
