Nebraska Technology:
After having dug to a depth of 10 yards last year, New York Scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion that their New York ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago. Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, California Scientists dug to a depth of 20 yards, and shortly after, headlines in the LA Times newspaper read: 'California Archaeologists have found traces of 200 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers.' One week later, the Lincoln Journal Star, a local paper in Lincoln, Nebraska reported the following: After diggin as deep as 30 yards in a corn field near Milford, Ne, Larry the Cable Guy, a self tought archaeologist and dyed-in-the-wool Husker fan, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Larry had therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Nebraska had already gone wireless. -end- |
