After digging to a depth of 300 feet last year, Russian scientists
found traces of copper wire dating back 1000 years, and came to the
conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network one thousand
years ago.
Not to be outdone, in the weeks that followed, American scientists dug
600feet and headlines in the US papers read: "US scientists have found
traces of silica, indicating 2000 year old optical fibers, and have concluded
that their ancestors already had advanced high-tech digital telephone
1000years earlier than the Russians."
One week later, the Irish newspapers reported the following: "After
digging as deep as 1500 feet, Irish scientists have found absolutely
nothing. They have concluded that 5000 years ago, their ancestors
were already using wireless technology.
