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 a 200 year old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier thanthe New Yorkers.'
One week later, The Courier Hub, a local newspaper in Wisconsin, reported the following: "After digging asdeep as 30 feet in his pasture near Stoughton, Wisconsin , Ole Olson, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Ole has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Wisconsin hadalready gone wireless."
Atta boy Ole! You go guy! Way to show 'em dat we're not so backward as dey tink! Who said Wisconsinites are hicks?

Inside a dog, it's too dark to read.
