Why did Thomas More give the silver cup to Richard Rich?
More first throws the cup into the Thames River, but after it is fished out by the boatman, he later gives it to Richard Rich. It is evident he wants to get rid of the cup because it was intended as a bribe and More, a person of inflexible integrity, doesn't take bribes. Giving the cup to Rich also gives More a chance to lecture the unprincipled Rich on the temptations of public office, tempations he thinks Rich cannot resist. As the plot unfolds, More's dim view of Rich is confirmed a number of times.

Who was Lieutenant Kermit Thomas in World War 2?
Perhaps you mean, "Who was Kermit TYLER?" If so, he was the lieutenant who ignored the radar operator's report of the incoming Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Tyler reportedly believed that the radar was picking up some B-17s that were more or less expected. His unfortunate contribution to the annals of military quotations was, "Don't worry about it."
Assuming the question to be 'Were Friars rich or poor?', the correct answer is: poor. They took vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. In principle, they lived by begging. Of course, there were always some who got round the rules and lived pretty well. Incidentally, you are wrong to put your question in a past tense. Friars are still very much with us. see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friar
Yes, Zach Thomas is married. He and his wife have been together for several years and have a family together.
What is the differences and similarities between thomas Edison and ben Franklin?
Thomas Edison was an inventor, scientist, and businessman. He was born on February 11, 1847 in Milan, Ohio and died on October 18, 1931 in West Orange, New Jersey by complications of diabetes. He is known for inventing the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and the first light bulb. Edison was married twice to considerably younger women. He has three children with both women but, he was not a polygasmist. His first wife died and then he remarried. He and his second wife were married until his death. His famous reserch lab was built in Menlo Park, New Jersey. Since his death the city was renamed Edison, New Jersey. His laboratory in West Orange, New Jersey, his place of death was made into the famous Edison Museum. Edison was also deaf in one ear.
Benjamin Franklin was born on January 17, 1706 in Boston, Massachusetts Bay and died on April 17, 1790 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was an inventor, politican, diplomat, and one of the founding fathers of the United States of America. He is well known for inventing the lightning rod, not electricity. Electricity has always been around but, no one figured out how to use it until Franklin showed up. He has an illegitimate son, William. Franklin is also well known for persuading France to aid America during The Revoluntionary War. Although many people think so, Franklin was never the president of The United States. He is also the face of the U.S. currency one hundred dollar bill.
Edison and Franklin are two completely different people. I think it is pretty sad that people don't know the difference. So, take this information and send it on!
Ideas for inventions can come from your imagination. Invention ideas sometimes come from a person thinking of a new use for something or a better way of doing something.
What kind of childhood did Thomas Edison have?
Thomas had a hard childhood, for instance at the age of six Thomas was responsible for starting a fire causing their barn to burn. Thomas' punishment was to be publicly whipped by his father. Roughly a year after the fire incident, the family moved to Port Huron, Michigan where young Edison became ill and had to postpone his schooling until he was eight years of age. The schoolmaster at his school thought Edison to be and incredibly stupid and intractable boy. His mother however, seemed to have different thoughts on the matter. Disgusted at the school, she took her son out and took it upon herself to school the young boy at home. There, she exposed him to books at a far higher level than anyone of his age. Thanks to his mother's teachings, Edison's horizons of knowledge were not limited just to science, but also in such subject as philosophy, English, and history. By the time he was of age eleven, he established his own laboratory in his basement and via this he would acquire yet more of his skills.

What did Thomas Bradwardine do?
Thomas Bradwardine (c. 1290 - 26 August 1349), often called "the Profound Doctor", was an English scholar and courtier and, very briefly, Archbishop of Canterbury.
Merton College sheltered a group of dons devoted to natural science, mainly physics, astronomy and mathematics, rivals of the intellectuals at the University of Paris. Bradwardine was one of these Oxford Calculators, studying mechanics with William Heytesbury, Richard Swineshead, and John Dumbleton. The Oxford Calculators distinguished kinematics from dynamics, emphasizing kinematics, and investigating instantaneous velocity. They first formulated the mean speed theorem: a body moving with constant velocity travels the same distance as an accelerated body in the same time if its velocity is half the final speed of the accelerated body. They also demonstrated this theorem-the essence of "The Law of Falling Bodies"- long before Galileo, who is generally credited with it.
The mathematical physicist and historian of science Clifford Truesdell, wrote:The now published sources prove to us, beyond contention, that the main kinematical properties of uniformly accelerated motions, still attributed to Galileo by the physics texts, were discovered and proved by scholars of Merton college .... In principle, the qualities of Greek physics were replaced, at least for motions, by the numerical quantities that have ruled Western science ever since. The work was quickly diffused into France, Italy, and other parts of Europe. Almost immediately, Giovanni di Casaleand Nicole Oresme found how to represent the results by geometrical graphs, introducing the connection between geometry and the physical world that became a second characteristic habit of Western thought ..."
In Tractatus de proportionibus (1328), Thomas Bradwardine extended the theory of proportions ofEudoxus of Cnidus to anticipate the concept of exponential growth, later developed by the Bernoulli andEuler, with compound interest as a special case. Arguments for the mean speed theorem (above) require the modern mathematical concept of limit, so Bradwardine had to use arguments of his day. Mathematician and mathematical historian Carl O. Boyer writes, "Bradwardine developed the Boethian theory of double or triple or, more generally, what we would call 'n-tuple' proportion".
Boyer also writes that "the works of Bradwardine had contained some fundamentals of trigonometrygleaned from Muslim sources". Yet "Bradwardine and his Oxford colleagues did not quite make the breakthrough to modern science" (Cantor 2001, p 122). The most essential missing tool was calculus.
