Galileo takes Marika to a beautiful temple, but she's disappointed to find that it's just another restaurant - this time, for oden. The owner of the restaurant, Archimedes is having trouble making ends meet. He has no customers, and the debt collection guys are knocking down his door (and shooting missiles through it). He gives them both some daikon, and Gali is angry that Mari gets a larger piece. Archimedes submerges both pieces in water, and they both displace the same amount of water, thus proving that they are, in fact, the same size. He then serves them some of his experiemental food like oden pasta, oden pizza, and oden wine (D:). It's clearly not very good. Mari talks about how French and Italian food are different from Japanese food, and she gets a hankering for some conveyor belt sushi. As Archimedes watches her spin like a conveyor belt, he suddenly gets a brilliant idea and promptly runs from his restaurant in nothing but a loincloth screaming "EUREKA!" When Mari and Gali return to the restaurant, they find business is booming. Archimedes has invented a screw that carries the oden to the customers.
Yay! More science! So it appears that in Galihabara, famous scientists all own restaurants instead. Fascinating. Archimedes was a pretty brilliant dude, best known for screaming "Eureka!" while running naked in the streets. Instead of, I dunno...being smart. One spring break is all it takes, my friends. Still they actually taught a vague amount of science here, so I shouldn't complain too much.
