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 New Zealand Herald, reported the following:
"After digging as deep as 30 feet in his backyard in Dunedin, Trevor Dagg
a self-taught archaeologist and avid Motorhomer reported that he
found absolutely f#*k all. Dagg has therefore concluded that 250 years
ago, New Zealand had already gone wireless."

Just makes you bloody proud to be a Kiwi!!!

Yeah, but two Hollanders invented copper wire. They were fighting over a penny :lol:
