All My Homies Hate Ben Franklin
Every electrical engineering student after getting zapped by their first circuit! Franklin's single-fluid theory proposed that electricity flowed from positive to negative—but we now know electrons actually flow in the opposite direction. This convention mismatch haunts engineers to this day, forcing them to deal with "conventional current" (positive to negative) while knowing the physical reality is completely backwards. The fiery backdrop perfectly captures the rage of anyone who's ever had to mentally flip directions while troubleshooting a circuit at 3AM. Thanks Ben, you've condemned generations to electrical confusion!

Electrons Going Places Current Can't Follow
The perfect visual representation of electrical principles in action. Current flows in one direction while electrons move in the opposite direction—a fact that still confuses first-year physics students and occasionally senior researchers after their fourth coffee. The shoe prints perfectly demonstrate how conventional current (the person walking forward) moves opposite to electron flow (the footprints left behind). Just another reminder that Benjamin Franklin had a 50/50 chance of getting current direction right, and chose... poorly.

Hunting down Franklin in the fiery depths because he got electricity completely backwards ! The dude decided electrons flow from positive to negative (conventional current), when they actually zoom the other way. Now generations of physics students suffer through circuit diagrams with arrows pointing in the wrong direction! The ultimate scientific bamboozle that still haunts our textbooks centuries later. Imagine being so brilliant yet leaving behind an electrical legacy that makes engineers twitch uncontrollably.
