This one being a close second:

Delegates from the original 13 states formed the Contented Congress. Thomas Jefferson, a Virgin, and Benjamin Franklin were two singers of the Declaration of Independence.

He was a naturalist, for sure.

Socrates was a famous old Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. He later died from an overdose of wedlock which is apparently poisonous. After his death, his career suffered a dramatic decline.

I have to say that this one was my favorite. (Good job on writing it, Rurippe)

That one's my personal favorite. No further comment in case my wife reads this.

I don't think the slaves wanted to be freed of that.

Johann Bach wrote a great many musical compositions and had a large number of children. In between he practised on an old spinster which he kept up in his attic.

Dirty old man.

Louis Pasteur discovered a cure for rabbits but I don't know why.
