Quote: 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 British, 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, Australia's Northern Territory Times,  reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 feet in his  backyard in Tennant Creek, Northern Territory, aboriginal Billi Bunji, a  self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely  fxxx-all. Billi has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Australia had  already gone wireless..." Makes me feel bloody proud to be an Australian!
