After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, New York

Scientists found traces of a copper-wire system 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 New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed,

California scientists dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, headlines

In the LA Times newspaper read: ' California archaeologists have found

traces of 200 year old copper-wire system and have concluded that

their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network

a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers.'

One week later, 'The Redneck Rebel Gazette' in Senatobia,

Mississippi, reported the following: 'After digging as deep as 30 feet in a corn field near

Strayhorn, Bubba Johnson, a self taught archaeologist, reported

that he found absolutely nothing. Bubba has therefore concluded that 300

years ago, Mississippi had already gone wireless.
