It really does exist!

"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat.
You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in
Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio
operates exactly the same way: you send signals
here, they receive them there. The only difference
is that there is no cat." -- Albert Einstein
