He Said it in Greek (for bluesey Socatrees  Archemedes floated in his bath. The water had a specific gravity of one. “Urika.” He cried, reaching for the soap; Except he said it in Greek. Did Soophocles hear it on the Agean Where ignorant armies fought by knight? Was the hemlock half empty or half full? Jaime |

The Greeks were well aware of the hazards when reaching for soap. It's a 'legend' that exists to this day...in certain quarters. "Eureka" in any language isn't a mere slip of the tongue. Once the top half or the lower half of hemlock is consumed...who's checking? An inspiring post from one with a last name like 'Goose'.  ...just bein' Bluesy |
