Nice joke

[MikeWaters]

After having dug to a depth of 1000 meters last year, Scottish
scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 1000 years and
came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone
network more than 1000 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the Scots, in the weeks that followed, English
scientists dug to a depth of 2000 meters and shortly after headlines
in the UK newspapers read:

"English archaeologists have found traces of 2000 year-old copper wire
and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced
high-tech communications network a thousand years earlier than the
Scots."

One week later, Texas newspapers reported the following:

"After digging as deep as 5000 meters in West Texas, Texas A&M
scientists have found absolutely nothing. They have therefore
concluded that 5000 years ago Texas inhabitants were already using
wireless technology."
