Wireless ...

After having dug to a depth of 1 mile last year, Polish 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 Poles, in the weeks that followed, British
scientists dug to a depth of 2 miles, and shortly after,
headlines in the UK newspapers read: "British 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," newspaper in Southwest Ireland, reported
the following: "After digging as deep as 3 miles in a peat bog near
Tralee, Paddy O'Driscoll, a self taught archaeologist, reported that he
found absolutely nothing. Paddy has therefore concluded that 300 years ago
Ireland had already gone wireless."
