Achamedies!

[Lisa]

I bet Ann will know. She has boys, it must be a boy thing.

 

[bigbabyblues]

I have two boys, 8 & 6, and I have no clue......

Steph

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

Like the Greek mathematician (sp?) guy?? I'm not sure how you spell his name. . .

 

[hopemax]

I would guess it's Archimedes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes

However, it was also the name of Merlin's owl in Sword in the Stone. So you might need to probe more as to which one he is referring too.

you got it Brooke!!!! good for you.

he invented pi, the screw, the odomoter, ......yup all those GREAT things!

i said "bubba, what's Achamedies?? he said mommy not what's it's who's??
and he invented pi!
and i said

like apple pie! i love apple pie!

he looks at me like....
forget it mommy. you don't get it!

I've thought this before, but now I'm more convinced that Bubba is a mini version of my DH.

 

[hopemax]

BTW, I think our cat might be named Archimedes when we get one at the beginning of next year. DH wants to name animals after historical scientist type people.

OMG Hope. I think bubba would love love love your dh!!
i have not even told him yet that he (your dh) has a new lego room!!!!

dh thinks that's awesome.

so you knew who archimedes was??? not me.

 

[ZeroToHero]

I recognized the name.... but couldn't match it with a person.

Would you like me to bring Plato's Republic tomorrow? I'm sure Bubba would have a blast reading that!

 

[rlovew]

My first thought was . . . the owl from Sword in the Stone or the Mathmetician but I grew up with rocket scientists for brothers.

DH and my degrees are essentially rocket science...Aeronautical & Astronautical Engineering with emphasis on the Astro... so lots of old, dead scientist guys rattling around in our brains.

When DH and I were talking about cat names, he vetoed all my Disney names, and then brought up the scientist thing. I said, "So like Ptolemy then." And he was all YEAH! Then I said well, Marie still works but just rolled his eyes. Archimedes fits both too.

Oh, and we bought this for DBIL's stocking stuffer. He is a math geek too, but Bubba might like it too, if he is into pi.

oh i am so buying those ice cube trays and shirt for bubba!!!!

dh told me to tell you to name your cats....

VonBraun
or
Gardard

no clue as to who they are but he told me to tell you!

 

[hopemax]

The second name would be Goddard.

They were both pioneers in the field of rocketry.

 

[party of 3]

see not only do i not know who they are i spelled his name wrong!!!!

he said you would know who they are!

 

[ddavis860]

I have a math geek too! I buy him stuff from computer gear. He has a bunch of those Pi shirts...like apple pi, pumpkin pi, chocolate pi, even a pi tie to wear to school. He has pi all over his car too...such a geek! And he brings a pie to school for pi day...LOL... but he isn't a rocket scientist

I love that blanket...that is perfect for him...hmmmm, maybe santa will bring it

 

[hopemax]

Does he have a pi plate? http://www.whatonearthcatalog.com/w...p_1BX/Item_The-Pi-Dish_VC4603_ps_cti-1BX.html

Or for pizza pi? http://www.whatonearthcatalog.com/whatonearth/Item_Pizza-Pi-Plate_CD1632_ps_srm.html

 

[ZeroToHero]

I have a cutie pi shirt.. but that's it.

Oh, and our dog, Oreo, is Oreo π, because he weighed 3.14 pounds when we got him.

...Yes, that was me.

...Yes, I am that lame.

 

[Arizona Rita]

Werner VonBraun, Rocket Boys, October Sky! I got that one!
DH has a pi tee too!
Gotta love our geeks!
