 According to [[Professor Cage]] of the [[H.O.A.G.I.E. Men]], Benjamin Franklin only pretended to negotiate the {{W2|Treaty of Paris|1783}} in 1783, and he actually used it as a cover to steal millions in gold from the {{W|Palace of Versailles}}. Franklin then had his greyhound, who was bred to have a special urinary enzyme that could reveal secret messages, used as part of a puzzle to find the treasure. The treasure was located in a cave under the [[Betsy Ross]], where an obstacle course that only his greyhounds could use was also located. The cave also had a secret door that hid the treasure that could only be opened by one of his greyhounds.<ref>"[[Irrational Treasure]]"</ref>
 Franklin was also one of the many people on "[[Ned]]'s List of Laudable Lefties".<ref>''[[Flanders' Book of Faith]]''</ref>
