One big application of Archimedes Principle is that the bottom of the ships are made flat to provide large surface area. Large surface areas displace large amount of water making it easy for ship to float.

I think when Archmedes was taking a bath he discovered this principle of "when a body is partly or wholly immerse into a liquid and it displces its own weight of liquid." He had applied his principle for finding the purity of the gold made crown or whatever for the king. You can apply this by checking out the possible gold chain that your boyfriend give to you in the future which is marked 24k (100% pure gold). I think you can use this principle to detect the quality of many products made from metal or proceline by your own physics theory.

Keeping people in thrall (or at least tithing) is one of the most easiest and profitable of all pursuits - this has been a well known fact for more than 2,000 years. The Mormon Church holds $35 billion in real estate and takes in 7 billion/yr. (of course they've got members like Mitt who need the write-off) The Catholic church is worth far more than that. Curiously, evangelical churches with the highest rates of science denial and scientific illiteracy don't rake in as much money - their members tithe at only 2-4% of annual income. Still, those "god-hates-fags" parties are expensive to throw and it's the price to pay for the second coming. So if Jesus never makes his fabled 2nd appearance, I think we can all blame those Protestants - cheap bastards.
