Or using a GPS system-containing device to claim that the government will try to track you with nanobots that would vaporize themselves and you if they tried to transmit anything. Or using it to claim that any of physics doesn’t work, since pretty much all of classical and relativistic mechanics has to be accurate for GPS satellites to work.

That’s exactly what I was thinking of and basing the calculated size on.

Especially in the bottom of a laundry basket, one that held the clothes you just put in the washer.

That is only tied by “Why does it smell like melting crayons?” as the dryer is running.

I had to listen to it again with captions on - I thought it was hilarious even when I was only catching half of it! Among the many great lines uttered (while the camera swept past the untouched ball at midfield) …“And there’s the ball …”

If I knew more about some of those German philosophers (like Beckenbauer?) I’m sure it would be funnier yet. Somebody had a lot of fun writing that script!

The joke about Beckenbauer is that he’s really a soccer player, not a philosopher! He was one of those legendary heros of German soccer.

Why did the announcer express surprise that Archimedes was on the Greek team? I didn’t get that one.

Actually - I didn’t get that either; maybe someone else here might have some insight. Was Archimedes known to be a bit of a loner (as in not a team player?) Although, I should think that might be more of a norm for this crew rather than the exception!

Is it significant somehow that it was Socrates who got the goal…?

I just googled Archimedes…many sites describe him as a “mathematician, inventor and scientist” but don’t include “philosopher” as a descriptive. A couple of sites did include “philosopher”, so maybe that’s the debate?
