Happy Ben Franklin Day

Wouldn't we all like to look at Ben Franklin's image on a $100 bill?

Ben Franklin was an inventor, author, printer, politician, diplomat, musician, and postmaster.

To celebrate his day we could watch National Treasure.  Ben Franklin wrote under the pseudonym Silence Dogood.

Check out The Franklin Institute website.  It's not all about him but I guess it's inspired by his interests and inventor status.  The Institute is physically located in Philadelphia, PA.

What fun facts do you know (or looked up) about Ben Franklin?
Did you know he spent half his life in unofficial retirement as a gentleman of leisure?
