Digging
After digging to a depth of 100 meters 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
200 meters 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
telephone 1000 years earlier than the Russians."
One week later, the Indian newspapers reported the
following:
"After digging as deep as 500 meters, Indian
scientists have found absolutely nothing.
They have concluded that 5000 years ago, their
ancestors were already using wireless technology
