Vote #251

The following question was presented:

Eureka beckons. We're heading up to Eureka for the long weekend. Fancied a change of scenery and I wanted somewhere I could drive to rather than flying. It's about a 5 hour drive north from here, but I'm thinking that will depend on what the traffic's like trying to get out of San Francisco on a long weekend. Anyway, should I take a bath and jump out shouting Eureka whilst I'm there?

Results:

Yes - that's a stupid enough thing to do was the clear winner with 100% of the votes selected from the following:

  • Yes - that's a stupid enough thing to do (100%)
  • No - that's a stupid thing to do - who do you think you are - Archimedes? (0%)

Analysis:

A resounding verdict of yes, I should jump out of the bath and shout “eureka” ... but sadly I didn't. As it happens, it was when Archimedes got into the bath that he proclaimed eureka when he saw the water rise making the connection with volumes and displacement and all that good stuff.
