Sir Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford got ripped off

I went on wikipedia today to see who the infamous "john" of long johns was. I wanted to properly recognize the man who is responsible for my goods staying warm and toasty on this frigid Boston day.

I was shocked to learn that long underwear was actually created by Sir Benjamin Thompson of Woburn. On your behalf Ben, I'd like to begin a campaign to rename these wonderful garments, "Long Bens."

And for the record, Sir Benjamin is now my favorite 19th century anglo-american physicist.
