Ben Franklin made this comment (paraphrased - obviously): "I've been sitting here trying to decide whether the sun was rising or setting on your chair. After the things that we have accomplished, I now know that it is rising." It's also all over Historic Philadelphia.
That was your history lesson for the day and one of the things that I learned on vacation :)
