Maverick Martin Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 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 600 feet and headlines in the US papers read: "US scientists have found traces of silica, indicating 2000 year old optical fibres, and have concluded that their ancestors already had advanced high-tech digital telephone 1000 years 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. Cheers Eddie, made me laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
