Ben

So I'm reading the autobiography of Ben Franklin. Some interesting things to note:

- Ben started as a printer apprentice when he was 12.

- Ben literally ran away to Philadelphia when he was 17. He knew nobody and found a job and a place to stay all on his own.

- Ben lived to be 84 years old. Kinda contrary to the idea that people died younger back then.
