• After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, Scottish
  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 Scots, in the weeks that followed, British
  scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters, and shortly after headlines in the
  UK newspapers read: "British 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
   Scots."
  
  

  One week later, "The Advertiser", a Lafayette, Louisiana, newspaper,
  reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 meters in cane fields
  near New Iberia , Gaston Boudreaux, an self taught archeologist, reported
  that he found absolutely nothing. Gaston has, therefore, concluded that
  300 years ago Cajuns were already using wireless."
