Proud Canadian

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 Brits, 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, Canadian Dept. Of Mines and Resources in Newfoundland reported the following:

After digging as deep as 30 feet in NE Canada, Jack Lucknow, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely fuck all.
Jack has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Canada had already gone wireless.

Just makes you bloody proud to be Canadian, doesn't it?
