DIGGING UP THE PAST

German scientists dug 50 meters underground and discovered
small pieces of copper.  After studying these pieces for a
long time, Germany announced that the ancient Germans
25,000 years ago had a nation-wide telephone network.

Naturally, the British government was not that easily
impressed.  They ordered their own scientists to dig even
deeper.  100 meters down, they found small pieces of glass
and they soon announced that the ancient Brits 35,000 years
ago already had a nation-wide fiber network.

Irish scientists were outraged.  They dug 200 meters
underground, but found absolutely nothing.  They concluded
that the ancient Irish 55,000 years ago had cellular
telephones.
