Is this a new website. I say this because there are only some facts in this website. But they are really interesting.
Do you like it?
He was born the 10th son of his father!!!!!!
Actually… Benjamin Franklin did not “invent” the urinary catheter… in reality, he took the design from europe after one of his travels there, and he adapted it and put it to use in America…. Just thought I would clarify things for anyone looking for correct facts on that subject…
We will examine your claims and modify the fact if needed.
Thank You.

he had 13 siblings and he was not the only person to sign the declaration, he was the oldest.
Benjamin franklin was actually the 15th out of 17 children, and the youngest boy
Hey. This is a nice uh website?????
hi wut up i know the sky
he also used to experiment on people’s bodies who donated themselves to ben franklin for money for their family.
what is the story why he is on the 100 dollar bill?
Just so you all know, he was the 15th of 17 chilren. It is a proven fact. Also, it is true that he used people’s cadavers for research, with their permission. He would send a fraction of his profit gained from his research to the families the person left behind. It was a nice way to pay back to their loved ones, even after they were gone.
If you are doing a report: DO NOT USE THIS SITE AS A SOURCE.
86% of their facts are incorrect.
