Copper Wire Discovery 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, finding traces of 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 Montgomery Advertiser, a local newspaper in Montgomery , AL reported the following: After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture near Ozark , AL "Bubba" Brown, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Bubba has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Alabama had already gone wireless. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Mr Kap: That is so funny I can hardly type a response. All my living relatives live and were born in Alabama except me, I was born in Wyoming @ Cheyenne. I have tears running down my face and my two cats are looking at me like I am nuts !!!!!!!. I can't wait to pass this one on the my kinfols. BTW, I hope you are not flooding out at Gainesville today. The Chattahoochie is getting out of it banks again this evening in Carroll County.
Still Diggin in the "Mud", Frank
