A city in coastal Northern California that has the foggiest, coldest, most disappointing summers in all the United States. 68 degrees is considered a heat wave there.
Tourist: I've been here for a week in mid-July and it's only reached 58 degrees, and I haven't seen the sun once or got a clear view of the redwoods. I'm sick of this darned jacket! When is it ever nice here?
Resident # 1: Here in Eureka it's cold and foggy all summer long, but if you like the sun, drive 30 minutes inland, where it's a toasty 100 degrees.
Resident # 2: When it reaches 75 in Eureka, our older residents die of heatstroke.

Greek for "This bath is too hot!"
A word for declaring discovery.
Archimedes (an ancient Greek man), got in his bath and saw that the water level rose, he figured this could be used to measure the volume of some objects, he was so excited that he streaked through the streets yelling "Eureka! I have found it!"
Eureka! I've got it! Pillage BEFORE you burn!
