After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, New York scientists
found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the
conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more
than 100 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, a
California archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after,
a story in the LA Times read: "California archaeologists, report
finding of 200 year old copper wire, have concluded that their
ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a
hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers."


One week later. A local newspaper in Wisconsin reported the following:
"After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture near New Richmond,
Wisconsin, Ole Swenson, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he
found absolutely nothing. Ole has therefore concluded that 300 years
ago, Wisconsin had already gone wireless".

Just makes a person proud to be from Wisconsin.
