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, Bryan-College Station Eagle, a local newspaper serving Bryan and College Station, Texas, reported the following:
After digging as deep as 30 feet in some sacred grass on the Texas A&M campus, Billy Bob Hiccup, noted A&M archaeology professor, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Billy Bob has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, A&M had already gone wireless.
