 DC> he was 10th child of 17.
 DC> seems all through his life he wondered "why" for most everything.
 DC> and worked to find the answer.

Including the very important things !

Somewhere I have a letter Benjamin wrote to a young man,  in which 
he laid out the reasons, obviously based on research, for any 
young bloke to get himself an old lady for a mistress...

Bet the history channel didnt include that in his bio !
