Police chase wanker

The Cambridge Police Department arrested a man at around 7 p.m. yesterday after a chase through Harvard Square. Allegedly, the man masturbated in public view in a Mt. Auburn Street window.

The suspect is being questioned about alleged 'lewd and lascivious behavior',” says Steven G. Catalano.

Writing of lascivious, Ben Franklin, an inventor and founding father of the not so united United States was quite the amorous Cretan.

"Franklin was a master of what the French call amitiƩ amoureuse, whose English translation, amorous friendship, gives only a hint of its true meaning: a delicious form of intimacy, expressed in exchanges of teasing kisses, tender embraces, intimate conversations and rhapsodic love letters, but not necessarily sexual congress."

For an on article "Why he was a babe magnet" see Ben Franklin.

Franklin was also tied to the Hellfire Club, Freemasonry and the Illuminati and apparently smoked a bit of the spliff.

Just so you know, the word Lascivious is 325 times less popular than the word stuff.

While I'm not so sure he did some of the things you mention above, Ben Franklin DID found America's first hospital, circulating libraries, mutual insurance company... the list goes on. I know this b/c here in Philadelphia, we are planning a year of celebration for Ben Franklin's 300th birthday year, with events, a world-premiere Franklin exhibition, and of course, birthday parties! You should come visit--the exhibition begins Dec. 15. You can learn all about our dear Ben-- like, did you know he invented swim fins!?
