In 1706 Benjamin Franklin was born. I cannot begin to cover everything that he did for this country and the world, he was an inventor, statesman, author, volunteer fire fighter and was an early civil rights leader and faught to eliminate inequality for both the native americans and african americans (everyone in reality).



As I said I cannot begin to do this man justice in a post, so I recommend you read up if you don't already know what Ben Franklin did for mankind.



Happy Birthday and Thank You!

Hmmmm. Jefferson was born in April, so I think Phins was talking about Franklin. Both men would be violently puking their guts into the commode if they saw the current state of the nation that they founded.



I'm guessing Phins has been drinking. Probably because of the current state of our nation. I hope he doesn't have a date with the commode.

So we can calculate precisely when the **** hit the fan to exactly 5 minutes after his death.
