After having dug to a depth of 10 meters 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. 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 Daily Squid” a Newfoundland newspaper, reported the following: “After digging as deep as 30 meters near Cornerbrook, Wilf Johnson, a self taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Wilf therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Newfoundland had already gone wireless.”
