On this day a long time ago (241 years to be exact) the Second Continental Congress voted to declare independence of the Thirteen Colonies from the Kingdom of Britain. The vote passed unanimously and two days later the Declaration of Independence was approved.
In an effort to find something humorous to post today honoring our founding fathers I found this: Which Founding Father Is Your Soulmate by Buzzfeed and took it because, well, procrastination.
Apparently my Founding Father Soulmate is Benjamin Franklin. Not that I’m complaining, I mean, I’m all for seeing a nice bundle of his faces in my wallet 😉 But it did have me wondering about the validity of this quiz when I came across this:
As such, I must concede–without further ado or argument–that Ben Franklin is definitely my Founding Father Soulmate!
Should you be in the procrastinating mood and take the quiz, I’d LOOOOVE to hear who your FFS is 🙂
One last note of irony about today: the day after the vote was approved, John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail that “The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha in the History of America.” Alas, poor Yorick John…
Ummm…George Washington because I am drawn to “raw power and alpha males”… I think you’re right about the scientific accuracy of this quiz!
Indeed! 😉
