copper wire, page-2

I have reposted as I think this is a ripsnorter and gave it a thumbs up. I do however feel that it will be moderated for profanity.

So here it is again, for everyone to read!



When digging 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.

Not to be outdone by the Brit's, in the weeks that followed, an American archaeologist

dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story published 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, the state?s Dept of Minerals and Energy in Perth, Western Australia,

reported the following:
"After digging as deep as 30 feet in Western Australia?s Pilbara region, Jack Lucknow,

a self-taught Archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing.

Jack has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Australia had already gone wireless."

Just makes you proud to be Australian.
