That’s one alarm clock you could never sleep through – would wake you with a shock.
carldagostino May 24th, 2011 at 14:27
Most of us need that extra wake up power. Esp Monday mornings.

It won’t be difficult to determine time of death!
carldagostino May 24th, 2011 at 10:57
Sure thing. It is a lot more risky playing with lightening than matches.

Ben took a lot of chances in other areas, as well.
carldagostino May 24th, 2011 at 10:18
Especially when the old coot was in Paris !!!

Whew, he was asking for some results!
carldagostino May 24th, 2011 at 10:16
In Philadelphia he started the post office, the newspaper and Franklin Power & Light

What a rushed early American society. A clock on the outside of the outhouse. 5 minutes to poop! Your times up! Next!
carldagostino May 24th, 2011 at 10:15
5 minutes is long enough. The only thing allowed to make waste is government.

It is said that lightning never strikes in the same place twice. Guess Ben wasn’t payin’ attention.
carldagostino May 24th, 2011 at 07:42
Are you kidding? Lightening strikes my wallet at every trip to the grocery store !
Mark Petruska May 24th, 2011 at 02:33
I thought one kite was tempting Fate. But four? The man had a death wish for sure!

he was now able to invent electric stove with an oven timer
carldagostino May 24th, 2011 at 07:40

The Good Greatsby May 24th, 2011 at 01:24
I bet he always knew what time the lightning storm started.
