plus later coined words Electrician, Conductor & Battery...and invented the lightening rod.
Saying..didn’t Clemson football have a player named Lightning and another named Rod?
Now you know some electrifying History on this day in 1752..about the time that Joe21 was to be born as were my parents..who later were to be known as Mr & Mrs Bulb...who years later found me to be so Bright that they named me LightBulb Bill (LBB for short).
LoL

It's great that you appreciate History, Billy Boy,

especially since you ARE history, AND because you would be named LightCandleBill (which really just doesn't have the same ring to it) if ole Ben didn't do his thing.

LBB --- I wish you could have been there with me when the bolt out of the blue hit Ben's kite. Ben jumped so high that's where the term, "high aa a kite" originated.
Just another tidbit of history to add to your collection.

Short story is
Ole Ben talking with Ms. Franklin said

do you feel like messing around
Ms. Franklin with a firm voice said Ben
go fly a kite

This is the perfect poast to read as I sit down for my mid-morning constitutional. However, it had nothing to do with the Constitution other than the fact that Ole Ben signed it. Joe21, why isn’t your signature on that document???
