Hmm. Since we saw the Red Baron yesterday, and (sorta) the Kite Eating Tree today… any chance Snoopy and his Sopwith Camel will come to the defense/defence of HRH???
Some people debate whether Franklin actually performed the kite experiment or simply proposed it in letters exchanged with scientific colleagues. One brave Prussian experimenter did try it and was electrocuted. In any case, the most popular misconception about Franklin and his kite was that he “discovered” electricity. It was already known; his declared intention was to determine whether lightning was an electrical phenomenon.
