After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, 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, an English
archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story
published in the Morning Herald read:
"English 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 Scots".
One week later, the Cork Observer reported
the following:
"After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture , Aidan O'Flaherty, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he
found absolutely **** all.
Aidan has therefore concluded that 130 years
ago, Ireland had already gone wireless."

Happy St Patricks Day to one and all
Happy St Patrick's Day to one and all. For those that know me, no explanation is needed, for those who don't, my post in the other thread was tongue in cheek humour. Don't go declaring a jihad against me.
