After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year,
English 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 British, in the weeks that followed, an American archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet.
Shortly after, a story published in the New York Times said:
"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 Irish Times reported the following:
"After digging as deep as 30 feet in his farm yard near Buncrana Co Donegal, Seamus Maloney, a self-taught archaeologist reported that he found absolutely bugger-all.
Seamus has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Ireland had already gone wireless."
...Makes ya feckin proud to be Irish!
