re: #68 Mattand

I basically live across the river from Ben Franklin Ground Zero and this is literally the first time I’ve ever heard of that one.

Also: that photo is the big ass statue of Ben at the Franklin Institute. It’s just as impressive in real life as it is in the photo.

Google it, “Benjamin Franklin President.” It’s likely that people in the Philadelphia area would have a much more than usual awareness of the facts about Franklin and would not be susceptible to the misconceptions. It’s something like Texas being the biggest state. Plenty of Texas yokels still believe that. Nobody in Alaska does.
