|
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 British, 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, Australia's Northern Territory Times, reported the following:
"After digging as deep as 30 feet in his backyard in Tennant Creek, Northern Territory, aboriginal Billi Bunji, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely, bugger-all. Billi, has therefore, concluded that 250 years ago, Australia had already gone wireless."
Makes me feel bloody proud, to be an Australian!

I've always understood that your aboriginals had somekind of connection to "the cloud" long before WIFI was born.

Smoked, chewed, made tea from.
I dug down 10 feet and that was as far I as needed to go to determine that bullshit runs deep.
Funny joke though Vince keep it up.
