Welcome to Hoosier Daddy!! To begin - a little Indiana humor: After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, New York 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 New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, a California archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story in the LA Times read: “California archaeologists, after finding 200 year old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers.” One week later the Indianapolis Star reported the following: “After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture near Lafayette, Indiana , Henry, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Henry has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Indiana had already gone wireless”. SOURCE: jonathonwise.wordpress/2011/01/17/a-little-indiana-humor/
