- Its origins are marked “est. 1752 (disputed)” and “incorporated nowhere,” while the lightning-rod story becomes doctrine.
Field notes
The references to a kite, a lightning rod, and “the one on the money” point toward Benjamin Franklin, whose historical associations the site turns into its own mythology. Its thirteen admonitions are paired with comic qualifications: humility is last because, it says, the Kite-Father was worst at it. The page also undercuts its own authority with disputed dates, unconfirmed testimony, and an intentionally useless flock count.
