He certainly was. He wanted to prove that lightening was electricity, 
used a silk thread as a kite string and tied a house key near the end. 
Then he used the back of his hand to get a spark from the key to his hand.

Very bloody dangerous if you ask me, and he lived to tell the tale, but 
then in those days they didn't know.

The pursuit of knowledge.

What a cause.
