After digging to a depth of 100 metres 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.

So, not to be outdone, in the weeks that followed, American scientists
dug to 200 metres and headlines in the US papers read: "US scientists
have found traces of 2000-year-old optical fibers, and have concluded
that their ancestors already had advanced high-tech digital telephones
1000 years earlier than the Russians."

One week later, the Singapore newspapers reported the following : "After
digging as deep as 500 metres, Singaporean scientists have found
absolutely nothing. They have concluded that
5000 years ago, their ancestors were already using wireless technology."
