In 2000 a university student at MIT, using the fake name of Dr. Michael Wong Chong, created a website that gave instructions on how to grow a kitten in a jar so that the kitten would take on the shape of the container, like the bonsai plant does. Even though this was obviously a joke, the website drew international protests from animal rights groups, so MIT removed the website. To this day, many who never got the memo about it being light-hearted hoax, still believe it's real.
