<div>Open Invitation for Anyone Interested in 18th Century Ideas and History: <br/>"Dr. Johnson and the Age of Reason" is a group for anyone interested in "the long 18th century" from Voltaire to the fall of Napoleon. Thomas Paine, London coffeehouses, Franklin, Voltaire, Burke, the French and American revolutions and theTerror-- I'm fascinated by how these people shaped our world and how many of the arguments carry on in modern dress. <br/>It may especially interest those persons fond of Dr. Samuel Johnson, late of Gough Square, London, just around the corner from the Cheshire Cheese (where for many years lived the foulest-mouthed parrot in London, who, being exhausted from imitating the sound of a champagne cork on New Years, 1926, died of an apoplexy, and whose obituary was featured in over 200 newspapers.) <br/>The tribe address is http://tribes.tribe.net/drjohnson</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://benfranklin.tribe.net">ben franklin</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>In 1998, workmen restoring Franklin's London home dug up the remains of six children and four adults hidden below the home. The London Times reported on February 11, 1998: <br/> <br/>"Initial estimates are that the bones are about 200 years old and were buried at the time Franklin was living in the house, which was his home from 1757 to 1762, and from 1764 to 1775. Most of the bones show signs of having been dissected, sawn or cut. One skull has been drilled with several holes. Paul Knapman, the Westminster Coroner, said yesterday: "I cannot totally discount the possibility of a crime. There is still a possibility that I may have to hold an inquest." <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://benfranklin.tribe.net">ben franklin</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Howdy! <br/> <br/>Interesting idea for a tribe. I have long respected Ben Franklin for a number of reasons, mostly for truly being the United States Founding Father (most of the rest only fudged his ideas, the nerve!). <br/> <br/>Kyle</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://benfranklin.tribe.net">ben franklin</a> - 0 replies </div>
