swheelerCopper wire discovered.........
After having dug to a depth of 10 feet 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, a California archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story in the LA Times read: 'California archaeologists, finding traces of 200 year old copper wire, 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 Twin Falls Times News, a local newspaper in Idaho, reported the following:
After digging as deep as 300 feet in his pasture near Rupert, Idaho, Bubba Brown, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing.
Bubba has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Idaho had already gone wireless.
Thank Heavens for Bubba.
Who said Idahoans are hicks?
