Benjamin Franklin was a pioneering scientist, leader of the
Enlightenment, and a founding father of the United States.
But perhaps less well known is that he was also the first
person to use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on an
electric-shock victim. Odder still, it was actually
mouth-to-beak resuscitation on a hen that he himself had
shocked. Welcome to some of the weirdest and most wonderful
experiments ever conducted in the name of science. Filled
with stories of science gone strange, Electrified Sheep is
packed with eccentric characters, irrational obsessions, and
extreme experiments. Watch as scientists attempt to nuke the
moon, wince at the doctor who performs a self-appendectomy,
and catch the faint whiff of singed wool from an electrified
sheep.
