My friend sent me this joke:

British scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 200 years and came 
to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more 
than 150 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the Brits, in the weeks that followed, a team of American 
archaeologists dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story published 
in the New York bulletin: "American archaeologists, finding traces of 
250-year-old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an 
advanced high-tech communications network 50 years earlier than the British".

One week later, the Punch newspaper in Ibadan, Nigeria, reported the 
following: "After digging as deep as 30 feet in his backyard, Lucky Obuijsule 
a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Lucky 
has therefore concluded that more than 250 years ago, Africa had already gone 
wireless."
