BET THIS MAKES YOU CHUCKLE !!


Copper Wire


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, a Oregon archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet and shortly after, a story in the LA Times

read: " California archaeologists' discovery 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. A local newspaper in Alabama reported the following:

"After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture near Tuscaloosa , Alabama , Bubba Earl, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Bubba has therefore concluded that 300

years ago, Alabama had already gone wireless."
