Saskatchewan Technology

After having dug to a depth of 10 meters 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, California scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters, and shortly after, headlines in the LA Times newspaper read: 'California archaeologists have found traces of 200 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers.'

One week later, 'Moose Jaw Times Herald', a local newspaper in Saskatchewan reported the following: 'After digging as deep as 30 meters in sagebrush fields near Moose Jaw, Joe Grabertitski, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Joe, therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Saskatchewan had already gone wireless.'
