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 , Knackers Johnson, a self-taught archaeologist,
reported that he found absolutely bugger-all. Knackers has therefore
concluded that 250 years ago, Australia had already gone wireless."

...Makes ya feel bloody proud to be Australian!
