Telephones
After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, Toronto 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 Ontarians, in the weeks that followed, a Vancouver archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story published in the Vancouver Morning Herald read: "BC archaeologists, finding traces of 130-year-old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network 30 years earlier than the Torontonians". One week later, the Winnipeg Free Press, Winnipeg, reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 feet in his backyard in Gimli, Manitoba, Blair Jonasson, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Blair has therefore concluded that 150 years ago, Manitoba had already gone wireless." Just makes you bloody proud to be a Manitoban! |
