After digging 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 a 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 advance high-tech digital telephone 1000 years earlier than the Russians".

One week later, a Filipino newspaper reported the following: " After digging a depth of 500 meters, Filipino scientists have found absolutely nothing. They have concluded that 5000 years ago, their ancestors were already using wireless technology."
