Special for all those that think NC is "special." It is --

After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year outside of Buffalo, New York,scientists found traces of copper cable dating back 120 years. They 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 Los Angeles, California archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet somewhere just outside Oceanside . Shortly after, a story in the LA Times read, "California archaeologists, reporting a finding of 200 year old copper cable, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers."

One week later, a local newspaperin Charlotte, North Carolina reported the following: "After digging down about 30 feet deep in his pasture near the community of Kannapolis, N.C., Bubba, an engineer and a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Bubba has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, North Carolina had already gone wireless."


Just makes a person proud to be from North Carolina.
