I'm grading journals for this week, and I've just learned something that might put many people's belief systems on end. In fact, the Bible may have to be rewritten. Not to mention the history books.
Ben Franklin is a man who invented light.
I mean, I always thought that was attributed to God, or some higher being. Apparently they lived in darkness until the late 1700s, though. Who knew. Guess that makes Shakespeare's work all the more impressive, since he did all that without light...
Of course, all the kids telling me that he "invented" electricity also amuse me. I'm pretty sure electricity was there, we just had to find it.
