A couple of French guys whose names I can't spell made the first free, manned balloon flight in a Montgolfier balloon, in Paris. Apparently, Ben Franklin was there because he was a true playa. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Ha.

Isn't that always the case ? I can never pronounce them correctly either and I had a few years of French in HS.

Well, Joseph-Michael is fairly easy, I guess, though Jacques-Čtienne Montgolfier does require using an accent.
