This ones has been around for awhile, but I always get a laugh....
After having dug to a depth of 10 meters, Scottish scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 1,000 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 1,000 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the Scots, in the weeks that followed, English scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters, and shortly after, headlines in the English newspapers read: ‘English archaeologists have found traces of 2,000 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a thousand years earlier than the Scots.’

One week later, ‘The Kerryman‘, a southwest Irish newsletter, reported the following: ‘After digging as deep as 30 meters in peat bog near Tralee, Paddy O’Driscoll, a self taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Paddy has therefore concluded that 3,000 years ago Ireland had already gone wireless.’:rofl:
