Heard that one on 'Les Grosses Têtes' last night…

During a campaign of archeological digs in the deep Russian North, strands of copper are found. Russian scientists proudly announce to the world that ancient Russians already had a copper telephony network.

Americans archeologists dig even deeper in American soil, and they find fragments of glass. American scientists boast to the world that ancient Americans were already equipped with an optic fiber network.

French archeologists undertake what they call the deepest digs ever in France. They unearth nothing. French scientists proudly broadcast to the world that the ancient French had WiFi.

I'd heard it before, but it still made me laugh.
