German scientists dug 50 meters underground and discovered 
small pieces of copper. After studying these pieces for a long 
time, Germany announced that the ancient Germans, 25,000 years 
ago, had a nationwide telephone network.

Naturally, the British government was not that easily impressed.  
They ordered their own scientists to dig even deeper. 100 meters 
down, they found small pieces of glass, and they soon announced 
that the ancient Brits 35,000 years ago already had a nationwide 
fibre net.

French scientists were outraged. They dug 50, 100 and 200 meters 
underground, but found absolutely nothing... They concluded that 
the ancient French 55,000 years ago had cellular telephones.
