Eur-slippa!

“Eureka!” “You don’t smella so gooda yourself.”

Perhaps he experienced an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced?

Archimedes, the creator of slap-stick.

He got screwed.

Just before this: “Eureka! I’ve found it!” … Afterward: “Eureka! I lost it!”

One of the true genius’ of the world……

Naked truth

He was just trying to float an idea.

But, did Archimedes really have that Eureka moment? Or is it just fiction?

wow. a naked but. he needs a towel. boy i hope he is ok

The floors were extra slippery because they had just been buffed.

Looks like he had a “streaka” moment as well

wouldn’t be surprised … whoever thought tile floors in bathrooms was a good idea had a nasty sense of humor.

Now if only he had paid more attention to his triangle…(not quite the genius we thought he was!)

Poor Archimides — he got screwed.

At least he doesn’t ‘reka’ now.

His discovery really floored him.

Now we know why he never made it to Eureka.
