  • That's Thomas Edison, not Ben Franklin. Completely different eras of time.

  • The man for nearly all of his life (in both Philadelphia and in Paris when he was Ambassador to France) would do naked calisthenics in his drawing room (on the first floor) with the windows open. He was (according to the stories) a BIG hit with the ladies of the French Royal Court.

  • Feynman has him beat. Fathered quantum electrodynamics, won Nobel prize, instrumental in making first atomic bomb, kept Oak Ridge from blowing up, became celebrated artist under pseudonym "Ofey", legendary lecturer, once read every math text in California, J Edgar Hoover called him a great threat to national security, was judged mentally deficient by psychologists on more than one occasion, broke into secure locations at Los Alamos, led Challenger investigation, did most his work at the strip club, and like Franklin, has tales of sexual exploits (or misadventures) from around the globe.
