you mean Archimedes?
Lets add archimedes death ray too.
you mean those mirrors of him? bruning ships and all?
I absolutly loved the idea...altough i doubt it would work...seen Mythbusters?~;)
and we shouldnt forget his iron hand...
but i guess bartix is a candidate for a deathray..but then a uranian one..not archimedes's
that was very very nice....Quote:

nice site, good read.
but for EB no more than a humor-trait i guess...~;)
this could've been a good easteregg. ~D
Dang! I just found the link reading one of my favorite conservative whacko online publications and thought this would be the perfect place to post it. But it seems QwertyMIDX stole my thunder. Are you a closet National Review reader? ~;p
Since the surprise has been spoiled, there's another idea I'll have to toss out.
solar death rays
shark-riding pirates with swords, that shoot laser beams
:stare:
Did you mean shark-riding pirates, or sharks who ride pirates?

Sure? Archimede was famous for inventing naval war devices such as those. Dionysos, the tyrant of Syracuse, was better known for his revolutionary use of engineering and siege machines in his siege wars. Both of them lived in Syracuse, but 150 years separate them.Quote:
