Out of all the founding fathers, Benjamin Franklin is arguably the most intellectually interesting. Which of the following is NOT a fact about Ben?

While we're sure Ben loved a good piece of cooked bread, he was not the one that invented the toaster. That honor goes to Scottish scientist Alan MacMasters. But Ben was multilingual, signed all of the 4 major documents leading to the creation of the U.S., and really took to the water. At just 11 years old, he invented a pair of swim fins and was inducted into International Swimming Hall of Fame in 1968.
