Subject: copper wire
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, finding 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 West Virginia reported
the following:
"After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture near
Summersville, WV, Bubba, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he
found absolutely nothing.
Bubba has therefore concluded that 300 years ago West
Virginia had already gone wireless."
Just makes a person proud to come from WV, doesn't it?
