When Archimedes was growing up he always like doing maths and stuff, he was a fairly strange man because his mind was (practically)never blank. Maths was never boring. (Josh: Em!!) A great scientist once said that he could see so far because he had stood on the shoulder of a giant, and Archimedes was one of those giants.

When Archimedes was 5 days old, the nurse wrapped him up in a cloth and ran around the round fireplace….. Hearth…. er, thingy, in the middle of the living room, with the rest of the house hold, including slaves, a few times. When he was ten days old, he had his naming ceremony. All the relatives and stuff came and the father said what his name was and blessed him and stuff and bla, bla, bla, bla, bla………………….. bla ……….. zzzzzzzzzzzz….zzzzzzzzzzz OH! Oops I think I fell asleep……. anyway, then they all went to Hungry JacksĀ®.
