At a conference of Archeologists in New York, a group of the delegates were having a discussion over a few drinks at the hotel bar discussing recent discoveries.
The British chap was explaining at a recent dig in Scotland 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 Brits, the American archaeologist noted that they had excavated to a depth of 20 feet at a site in Delaware, and shortly afterwards, a story was
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".
The Canadian representing the Dept. Of Mines and Resources in Newfoundland piped up and noted that their Scientific Journal published the following;
"After digging as deep as 30 feet in N&L , Canada, just outside of the City of St Johns, Jack Lucknow, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing at all. Jack had therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Canada had already gone wireless."
Just makes you bloody proud to be Canadian
