    :banana Ben Franklin - hammock hanger

    Please forgive me if this has already been posted:

    Little know fact: Benjamin Franklin was not only a sage, diplomat, inventor and more, but also a backpacker and a hammock hanger. Why else would he say: "We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately."

    Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

    I thought I read somewhere Ben changed his name from Dover to Franklin cause he though it sounded better.
