Yes, by me. I realize this is a little mundane compared to some of the past pictures, but I think it has some potential for interesting captions.

And your choices are:
1) "When Ben discovered electricity, he dreamed of many applications, but he never expected to have it shoved into his face."
2) "Medieval numerologists used advanced algebraic techniques to show the eventual rise of art deco architecture."
3) "Just a little further to the right....We'll take out Franklin and the whole revolution will collapse"
4) "Marjorie finally realised her dream of seeing Big Ben."
5) "The agent took John Ashcroft's "be on the lookout for anything" order a little too literally."
6) "In the year 3030 ce, Benjamin Franklin is worshiped as the God of Electricity based on faulty work by archaeologists of the day."
7) "Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird... it's a plane... it's... it's... it's absolutely nothing."
8) "Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locamotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single........ able to leap tall buildings in a single......... anybody know where the elevator is?"
9) "There are eight million stories in the Naked City. This is not one of them."
10) "People in town could always tell when Spiderman had been drinking the night before."
11) "I'm overdrawn and the world's in quarters"
Have at it!

Have to go with 9.
I forgot to post an entry.  But 9 is close to what I was going to post, so the universe is saved!

quasar was right: this did inspire some terrific ones.
Tough choice, but my vote is #1.
No, make that #4.
We're allowed to submit multiple captions. Would it complicate things too much if we could sumbit multiple votes as well?

#2 is MNM. None of the others are correct. Would you like a cast of characters?
