Electric Pants

Was Benjamin Franklin really the first man ever to ask the question that has at some stage in our lives occured to each of us, "What happens when you electrify your pants?".

His attempt was surely the most memorable as not only did he devise an ingenious way of sending lighting into his trousers he did so with merely a kite and his house key. If only everything were so simple. He went on to invent the bifocal lens and the odometer but how he imagined anyone using it without a car is beyond me. Maybe he attached it to his newly electrified slacks in-order to keep track of the many furlongs he found himself jogging after each jolt to his undergarments.

He was, no doubt about it, a man of many talents. He could play the violin, harp, guitar and the glass armonica. Sadly nobody knows what this is.

Here then, in honour of his 300th birthday which is probably in about two years time, I present a small (100k) flash animation entitled, Electric Pants.
