Archimedes was born c. 287 BC in the seaport city of Syracuse, Sicily, at that time a self-governing colony in Magna Graecia, located along the coast of Southern Italy. The date of birth is based on a statement by the Byzantine Greek historian John Tzetzes that Archimedes lived for 75 years.
How sad. Country singing legend George died at 81 years old on April 26. He is survived by four children and his wife of 30 years, Nancy. George Jones died at 81 years old in Nashville on April 26. The singer, who once nearly died in a car wreck in 1999, was hospitalized in Nashville on April 18 for a fever and irregular blood pressure, though his cause of death is not yet certain. So sad.
