A toast to Archimedes!!!
Archimedes proved you can measure the volume of an object of irregular shape by measuring the volume of water it displaces. However, I doubt he could measure the volume of water displaced by those bodies, since there doesn't seem to be any water left to measure.
Or were you referring to the Archimedes screw?
I was referring to the story of Archimedes coming up with the idea about the volume when he got in the bath and displaced the water. Since there was obviously some water displacement in the picture also, I thought I was making an incredibly witty science joke. :biggrin2:
