Old joke from former Eastern Germany: An archeology team was having trouble determining the age of human remains that they found deep in a cave, so they called in the best forensics teams from the CIA, KGB and the Stasi....

The CIA team goes in first with all their equipment and comes out about 4 hours later.

"As far as we can determine, the remains are about 500,000 years old."

Not to be outdone by the CIA, the KGB goes in and comes out about 8 hours later.

"The remains are approximately 515,550 years old. This is what we have been able to determine with our superior forensics technology."

Before the KGB is even done giving their report, the 2-man Stasi team is already making their way towards the cave. They are carrying just a duffle bug with them. They enter the cave and make their way towards the remains. Soon after, sounds of shouting, swearing and banging start coming out of the cave and they don't let up for 2 whole days. When the Stasi forensics team finally leaves the cave, they are dirty and disheveled, their clothes ripped and their tools are damaged.

"So, the remains are 515,553 years, 7 months, 3 weeks and 5 days old."

Amazed and dumbfounded, the archeologists and other forensics teams ask how they could possible determine the age of the remains to such an exact date.

The Stasi agents look knowingly at each other and one of them says, "He confessed."
