Who knew?
After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, British 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.
In the weeks that followed, and not to be outdone by the Brits, an American archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, published this story 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 British".
One week later, Canadian Dept. Of Mines and Resources in Newfoundland reported the following:
"After digging as deep as 30 feet in NE Canada , Jack a Newfie and self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely f**k all.
Jack has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Newfoundland had already gone wireless."
