The best invention in the world

The best invention ever is the lightning rod, because it was made by Benjamin Franklin. He did an experiment to see if lightning was electricity.

He flew a kite during a thunderstorm, with a metal key attached to the end of the string. When it rained and the string got wet, sure enough, a spark jumped from the key when the lightning flashed. And that led to the lightning rod. And that's why I like it.

  1. JUST OK?! It's the safest invention, because it prevents a building from fire dangers due to lightning strikes.

  4. Yes, yes it is, shorty98. And you, balla.4.(:, have no idea what they're useful for, per se, so you should read books on electricity. I even checked one out from the library. You can read it.
