Copper Wire

What are you laughing at?

Copper Wire

Postby Tug002 » Sun Jul 29, 2018 9:26 am

After having dug 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 Brit's, in the weeks that followed, an American archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story 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".


One week later, the Canadian Dept. Of Mines and Resources in Newfoundland reported the following:


"After digging as deep as 30 feet in Newfoundland, Jack Lucknow, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely zip all.


Jack has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Canada had already gone wireless." :o


Just makes a guy proud to be Canadian, eh!

Keep smiling

...however...

Jack did come across, during the dig, the remains of Leif Eriksson the 11th Century Viking.

So all was not lost during the wiring excavations.

It may be cold, wet, and miserable, but the island does have an amazing history!

We in the U.S. are anxiously awaiting the invasion of our country by Canada. Anything to get rid of the clowns that are now running the country. Come on Canadians, get some cojones and bring it on!

Save the world? By the time any of us get there they'll not only have locked the doors but we'll already be smothered by the mushroom clouds.
