"In the USA they were calling me Archimedes II"<br><br><br>An extremely rare example of a great pun.,(reply>), By the loosest definition of what a pun is, this is either not a pun at all, or it's just atrociously bad,(reply>), Nah they don't sound alike. They vaguely rhyme, but that's not how puns work. It isn't a pun.,(reply>), “Some people are calling me Archimedes 2, I’m not... but you could”,(reply>), @Gazza oh, you're no fun. -pythhon?<br><br><br>puns are not just homonyms. homophones are also puns, ore pseudo-homonym/pseudo-homophones<br><br><br>also, the 'II' kinda looks like a pipe (which is), 'two' sounds like 'screw' with having the 'w' sound(they had the same IPA), and is also a 'second generation' archimedes screw.,(reply>), Sorry to be that guy but these are not (great) puns... For puns to work they need to have a dual meaning in the sentence. Calling the inventor an "Archimedes screw or tube" does not work. Plus the word Archimedes is already related to the screw, so no prizes for putting them together.
