After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, New York scientists found traces of a copper-wire system dating back 100 years, and they came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.

Bubba has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Mississippi had already gone wireless.
