AANCESTORS
*************
After digging to a depth of 100m last year, Russian scientists
found traces of copper wiring dating back 1000 years, and came to
the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone
network one thousand years ago.
So as not to be outdone, in the weeks that followed,American
scientists dug 200m, and headlines in the US newspapers read:-
"US scientists have found traces of 2000 year old optical fibres,
high-tech digital telephone 1000 years earlier than the
Russians."
One week later, the Pakistani press reported the following:-
"After digging as deep as 500m, Pakistani scientists have found
absolutely nothing. They have concluded that 5000 years ago,
their ancestors were already using mobile phones.
