Violet

hey guys!!! this is violet. todays odd fact is kinda long, but super cool!. so, some of you might know that Ben Franklin worked for his printer brother for a while. well, the brother wasn't nice at all. while working there, Franklin wrote into his brother's paper. he posted his own column. he put in little snippets of interesting facts, and signed them 'Silence Dogood'. yes, he posed as a girl. well, his column was a HIT. people loved it. they wrote to 'her' asking all kinds of questions, and Silence answered them. needless to say, Franklin didn't tell his brother that he was really Silence, his brother was totally clueless. but then, when 'Silence' was making the column so much money, Franklin decided to let the secret out. he told every body who he was. when his brother found out, he shut down the column!!! his brother really didn't like him.
