You’re about 236 years too late with the “RIP” schtick

Go to independence park and you can see Benjamin Franklin’s grave from the sidewalk right beside a city street!

"The Body of B. Franklin, Printer; like the Cover of an old Book, Its Contents torn out, And stript of its Lettering and Gilding, Lies here, Food for Worms. But the Work shall not be lost; For it will, as he believ'd, appear once more, In a new and more elegant Edition, Revised and corrected, By the Author."

The greatest president the United States has ever had.

Wrote the Declaration of Independence, made Great Britain surrender, created the internet, made the lines for all 50 states, stopped the civil war, wrote the design for air conditioning.

The GOAT of presidents and US citizens

Benjamin Franklin once said “ Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy”

I used to think he wrote that as well. Turns out it’s not true. It’s just a misattribution. He never wrote or said that, unfortunately.

It's basically a paraphrasing of something he said about wine.
