So uh, I'm still reading 'The Rise and Fall of Alexandria' and ran across this quote from Plutarch....how could I not share?

"Oftimes Archimedes' servants got him against his will to the baths, to wash and anoint him, and yet being there, he would ever be drawing out of the geometrical figures, even in the very embers of the chimney. And while they were anointing him with oils and sweet savours, with his fingers he drew lines upon his naked body, so far was he taken from himself, and brought into ecstasy or trance, with the delight he had in the study of geometry."

I think this is as close as we'll get to someone writing a proof detailing how sex Archimedes was.

Don't tempt math nerds, they will do it.

My evil plan hinges upon this fact.

YOUR evil plan?

Busted. I planned on getting the math nerds to articulate the proof, and then I was going to get Twig to cross-stitch it so you could hang it over your fireplace. Home is where you hang your heartsexy Archimedes. ^_^
