Copper wire facts:

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 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 Mississippi reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture near Kiln Mississippi , Bubba , a self-taught archaeologist , reported that he found absolutely nothing. Bubba has therefore concluded that 300 years ago , Mississippi had already gone wireless".

Just makes you proud to be from Mississippi ...
