BBC: Ben Franklin's Electricity Suits

[Eric Alan Weinstein]

Having driven into town to aquire 1 am coffees at Bar Italia
and get away from Pynchonalia for a bit----coming into town 
on the radio I hear a quiz question about Vaucanson's duck,
then at 2am coming back I hear an extract from Ben Franklin's
diary about a circle of friends who get together and dress up
in these wild black hooded Capes and perform electrical 
experiments.  So Ben was into performance art, after all---
Evidently they electricuted some Turkeys.
