Ancient History- the Oz way

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 Brit's, 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, the Sydney Morning Herald, in Sydney Australia,
reported the following:
"After digging as deep as 30 feet in his backyard in Tugun,
Bruce, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he
found  nothing. Bruce has therefore concluded that 250
years ago, Australia had already gone wireless."
Just makes you bloody proud to be a Australian !
