Too funny!
Here's another one....
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, British
scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters, 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, an East Coast newspaper, reported the following: 'After
digging as deep as 30 meters in fields near Come-By-Chance, NFLD ... George
Upshal, a self taught archeologist, reported that he found absolutely
nothing. George has, therefore, concluded that 300 years ago
Newfoundlanders were already using wireless.'
