Techie joke - Ancient communications networks

[Madmat]

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   scientist 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 fiber-optic cable
and have concluded that their ancestors   already had an advanced
high-tech digital communications network a thousand years earlier than
the Scots.

One week later, Irish
newspapers reported the following: After digging 
 as deep as 5000 meters in a
County
Mayo bog, Irish scientists
have found absolutely nothing. They, therefore, have concluded that 5000 years
ago, 
 
Ireland's
inhabitants were already using wireless technology.
