Top that! (Cedar Rapids, Palo: work, local, race)

After having dug to a depth of 10 yards 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 yards, 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, 'Cedar Rapids Gazette,' a local newspaper in Iowa reported the following: 'After digging as deep as 30 yards in corn fields near Palo, Louie Voleska, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Louie has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Iowa had already gone wireless.'

Gospel truth. We're installing a plaque to this effect in April.
