Copper Wire
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 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 'Newnan Daily Independent', a local newspaper in Georgia,
reported the following:
'After digging as deep as 30 yards in cotton fields near Newnan in Cowetta
County, Bubba Johnson, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found
absolutely nothing. Bubba has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Georgia
had already gone wireless.'

Georgia and Florida are dubbed "crackers"
