After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last
year outside of New York City , New
York scientists found traces of copper
cable dating back 100
years. They 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
Los Angeles , California archaeologist dug to a depth of 20
feet somewhere just outside Oceanside . Shortly after, a story in the LA
Times read: " California archaeologists report a finding of 200 year old
copper cable, 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 Ironton , MO reported the
following: "After digging down about 30 feet deep in his pasture near the
community of Pilot Knob, Bubba, a self-taught archaeologist reported that
he found absolutely nothing. Bubba therefore concluded that 300 years ago,
Missouri had already gone wireless".
Just makes a person proud to be from Missouri..........
