Wireless since 5000 years ago
Something for a laugh...

After having dug to depth of 1000 meters last year, Swedish 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 Swedes, in the weeks that followed, English scientists 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 fibre optic cable and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech digital communication network a thousand years earlier than the Swedes.
One week later, Malaysian newspapers reported the following: after digging as deep as 5000 meters in padi fields in Kedah, Malaysian scientists have found absolutely nothing. They therefore concluded that 5000 years ago Malaysia's inhabitants were already using wireless technology.
