' Who Knew? '

After having dug to a depth of 10 meters 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 meters, and shortly after, headlines in the LA Times newspaper read:
"California archaeologists have found traces of 150 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network fifty years earlier than the New Yorkers."

One week later, "The Cape Breton Post", a local newspaper in Nova Scotia, reported the following:
"After digging as deep as 30 meters in a brush field near Sydney,Angus Sampson, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Angus has therefore concluded that 200 years ago, Cape Breton had already gone wireless."
