COPPER WIRE

After having dug 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 Western Australia,
reported the following:

"After digging as deep as 30 feet in Western Australia’s Pilbara region, Michael (Chucka) Garvey, a highly credentialed Telecom employee and self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing at all. Michael has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Australia had already gone wireless."

Just makes you so bloody proud to be Australian!
