How come so many great ideas come to us when we are in the bathtub? Like Archimedes coming up with the hydrostatic principle while taking a bath or… Ummm… well, it seems my hypothesis was unfounded since I cannot find another example of a scientific discovery made in the bathtub. But why? It seems like a good place to get sudden realizations about the universe. Lying there, surrounded by warm water, should definitely be a good place for a Eureka moment.

I remember having the idea of helium luggage while taking a bath - a suitcase with a compartment you can fill with helium to reduce its weight, thus saving you money when you fly. Is it a dumb idea? Sure! Does it make any sense? Absolutely not! Am I just now realizing this entire entry has no purpose and it just served to prove my original assumption wrong? Shut up!
