    Default Irish Technology

    After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, Scottish
    scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came
    to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone
    network more than 100 years ago.

    Not to be outdone by the Scots, in the weeks that followed, English
    scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters, and shortly after, headlines
    in the English newspapers read: "English archaeologists have found
    traces of 200 year old copper wire and have concluded that their
    ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a
    hundred years earlier than the Scots."

    One week later, "The Kerryman," a southwest Irish newsletter,
    reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 meters in peat
    bog near Tralee, self-taught archaeologist Paddy O'Droll reported
    that he found absolutely nothing. Paddy has therefore concluded that
    300 years ago Ireland had already gone wireless."

    Forgive your enemies, but never, ever forget their names.
    The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naïve forgive and forget; the wise forgive but never forget.

    I've heard that line before.
    Thank God for senility... now I don't feel so silly any more.
