After having dug to a depth of 10 yards 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 New Yorkers, in the weeks followed, California scientists dug to a depth of 20 yards, and shortly after, headlines in the LA Times newspaper read 'California archaeologists have found traces of 200 year old copper wire 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 East of Eden, near Science Hill, Kentucky reported the following:

'After digging as deep as 30 yards in a corn field near Cedar Grove, Andy Mounce, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Andy has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Kentucky had already gone wireless.'
