There was also the story that during the Cold War the Russians sent a piece
of wire to the Americans, saying it was the smallest diameter wire that
could be made. The Americans sent it back with a hole drilled through it.

Story Time!
Back in the days of the "Space Race", the Russians were constantly trying
to outdo the USA. They wanted to be the first to put a man on the moon,
NASA wanted to be the first to return a man from the moon- subtly different
objectives. As NASA was 'counting down' to the first moon launch, the
Russians went strangely silent about their efforts. NASA's launch went
well, Neil Armstrong made his "one small step...", and all was right with
the world. As the astronauts were gathering their samples and preparing to
depart the lunar surface, one of them noticed a strange shiny object on the
edge of a crater. They hopped (as one does in low gravity) over to the
crater to the shiny object, and picked up an empty Russian vodka bottle!

You mean pick it up from sound stage where they left it?
