Telephone Technology

After digging to a depth of 100 meters last year, Russian scientists have
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 Singapore newspapers reported the following: "After
digging as deep as 500 meters, Singapore scientists have found absolutely
nothing. They have concluded that 5000 years ago, their ancestors were
already using wireless technology.

Proud to be a Singaporean! hahahaha
