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 Israeli newspapers reported the following:
After digging as deep as 5000 meters, Israeli scientists have found absolutely nothing. They have concluded that 5000 years ago, their ancestors were already using wireless technology.
