  1. After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, English 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 English, in the weeks that followed, an American archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story was published in the New York Times: "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 English". One week later, the Pluck Times, a local trusting print company in Donegal reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 feet in his back garden in Pluck, Donegal man Paddy O'Doherty a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely Fech all. Paddy has therefore concluded that 250 years ago while the English and Americans were still messing about with cable, the Irish had already gone wireless..."
  2. That`s a very nice thing that you have done & I`m sure it was made with love & respect for your good friend ... as mentioned earlier it will be a honour and privilege to have made that for him!
  3. A young man walks onto the stage of Stars in their Eyes, on crutches, with a plaster cast from his feet to his hips. Matthew Kelly Introduces him as Simon. "It's very brave of you to come out here," says Matthew. "Please tell the audience what happened." "Well," replies Simon, "about a year ago, I was driving with my uncle when we had a really bad accident. Unfortunately my uncle was killed outright but I survived. I was trapped in the car for six hours before I was eventually cut free. The doctors had me in surgery for 12 hours but they couldn't save my legs." "That's terrible. But I see you have legs now. Are they artificial?" asks Matthew. "No Matthew, while I was in hospital the doctors informed me that my uncle had in fact died. But they also said that his legs were fine and, with all the advances in medical science, they could graft the bottom half of his body onto mine. As you can see the operation was successful. "I have been having physiotherapy for six months and hope to be walking fully again by the end of the year." A huge round of applause erupts from the audience. Kelly responds with: "That's an unbelievable story. So tonight, who are you going to be?" "Tonight, Matthew, I am going to be Simon and Half-uncle"
