After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, Canadian scientists in Montreal, 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 their neighbours, in the weeks that followed, an American Archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet in Lower Manhattan and, shortly after, a story published in the New York Times reported:
"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 Canadians".
One week later, the British authorities reported the following:
"After digging as deep as 30 feet in Bingley, West Yorkshire, Jack Arkwright, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely f*** all.
Jack has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, England had already gone wireless."

Thought some was going to say that the wire came from a Scottish settlement that was fighting over a penny.
