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 Kansas City Star, a local newspaper in K.C.,Mo, reported the following: After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture near Harrisonville, Mo, Mr. Jake Brown, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Jake has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Mo. had already gone wireless.

He removed one leg from the flea and repeated the experiment. The flea jumped again, though not as far.
This was repeated until the flea had no legs.
"JUMP!" but the flea didn't move.
"JUMP!" yet the flea stayed still.
The researcher excitedly wrote in his journal, "When you remove all the legs from a flea, it becomes deaf."
