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 the New Yorkers in the weeks that followed, California scientists dug to a depth of 20 yards, and shortly thereafter, 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 Indianapolis Star reported the following: 'After digging as deep as 30 yards in corn fields near Olitic, Billy Bob Johnson, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Billy Bob has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Indiana had already gone wireless.'

There's a certain "Hoosier" logic here ....

Hey, makes perfect sense to me........................
