Recently, Germany conducted some scientific exploration involving their best scientists. Core drilling samples of earth were taken to a depth of 150 feet and during the core examinations, small pieces of copper were discovered. After running many arduous tests on these samples, the German government announced that the ancient Germans 25,000 years ago had a nationwide telephone network.
Naturally, the British government was not that easily impressed. So they ordered their own scientists to take their core samples at a depth of 300 feet. From these samples, they found small pieces of glass and soon announced that the ancient Brits 35,000 years ago already had a nationwide fiber optic network.
Irish scientists were outraged. So immediately after this announcement, they ordered their scientists to take samples at a depth of 600 feet found absolutely nothing. They concluded that the ancient Irish 55,000 years ago were an even more advanced civilization, as they already had a wireless telephone network.
