Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin (January 17, 1706 [O.S. January 6, 1705] – April 17, 1790) was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. A renowned polymath, Franklin was a leading author, printer, political theorist, politician, freemason, postmaster, scientist, inventor, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat. As a scientist, he was a major figure in the American Enlightenment and the history of physics for his discoveries and theories regarding electricity. As an inventor, he is known for the lightning rod, bifocals, and the Franklin stove, among other inventions. He facilitated many civic organizations, including Philadelphia's fire department and a university.

Franklin earned the title of "The First American" for his early and indefatigable campaigning for colonial unity, first as an author and spokesman in London for several colonies. As the first United States Ambassador to France, he exemplified the emerging American nation. Franklin was foundational in defining the American ethos as a marriage of the practical values of thrift, hard work, education, community spirit, self-governing institutions, and opposition to authoritarianism both political and religious, with the scientific and tolerant values of the Enlightenment. In the words of historian Henry Steele Commager, "In a Franklin could be merged the virtues of Puritanism without its defects, the illumination of the Enlightenment without its heat." To Walter Isaacson, this makes Franklin "the most accomplished American of his age and the most influential in inventing the type of society America would become."

Billy Mays

William Darrell "Billy" Mays, Jr. (July 20, 1958 – June 28, 2009) was an American television direct-response advertisement salesperson most notable for promoting OxiClean, Orange Glo, Kaboom, and other cleaning, home-based, and maintenance products on the Home Shopping Network, and through his company, Mays Promotions, Inc.

He and his business partner, Anthony Sullivan, were also featured on PitchMen, a TV series that documented their work. His distinctive beard and impassioned sales pitches made him a recognized television presence in the United States and Canada.

Early life

Mays was born in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Mays was a student at Sto-Rox High School, and later West Virginia University, where he was a walk-on linebacker on its football team during his two years there.

Career

Early work

After dropping out of college, Mays worked for his father's hazardous waste company before moving to Atlantic City, New Jersey in 1983. On the Atlantic City boardwalk, Mays sold the Washmatik portable washing device to passersby, along with other "As Seen on TV" products. In Atlantic City, he was taught how to sell by the older salesmen, saying "I was taught to pitch by a lot of old pitchmen. That's the kind of style I have."

Although the video was written and filmed independently without knowledge of how it would be used, it has since been sponsored by the largest and most well known educational and meteorological organizations worldwide.

After hearing about the project, the soundtrack was written specifically for the video by a Grammy Award winning producer.

When all other means of impressing the local community fail, Johnny decides to build a functioning time machine. Instead of using correct science, Johnny decides to base all of his research on action-adventure films of the 1980s and 90s. Only his girlfriend Penny and a five-year old neighbor believe in him. Johnny is humiliated on the news and discouraged by his old physics professor Howard Lorington. Lorington doesn't want Johnny to fail, he simply wants him to use real science instead of science-fiction. After Penny helps Johnny to see the error in his ways, he goes back to the professor to get the right scientific information. Working through the night, Johnny applies what he has learned from Lorington and is ready to launch the next day. He is greeted by hundreds of local residents who have come out to see their new hero.

Ben Franklin

Old Ben Franklin, I think we should thank him
Was a poet and a diplomat
He put a key out in a cage till he saw the lightning
strike
But what's shocking is he did more than that
Chorus:
He put my focals on the nose, made a better wood stove
The lightning rods in all the homes in Philly
He helped the declaration pass, he made music out a
class
Fought the British as a lot of things were silly
Old Ben Franklin, I think we should thank him
Was the word's most industrious guy
He said early to bed, and early the rise
Makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise
Chorus:
He put my focals on the nose, made a better wood stove
The lightning rods in all the homes in Philly
He helped the declaration pass, he made music out a
class
Fought the British as a lot of things were silly
He was a fireman
He was an inventor
He was kite flier
He was a lighter
He was... for general
An ambassador
He was a musician
A revolutionary
He was a philosopher...
Chorus:
He put my focals on the nose, made a better wood stove
The lightning rods in all the homes in Philly
He helped the declaration pass, he made music out a
class
Fought the British as a lot of things were silly
He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for
anything else
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest
Fish and gas go bad after three days
A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle
Say, hey Benny, they didn't put you on the penny
Though you... with your mighty
..a penny saved is a penny earned
So they put you on the hundred bill
Chorus:
He put my focals on the nose, made a better wood stove
The lightning rods in all the homes in Philly
He helped the declaration pass, he made music out a
class
Fought the British as a lot of things were silly
