It's a celebration ... I FOUND IT !!! (Eureka comes from the greek "heuriskein" which means to find)
I would have celebrated with a beer, but Archimedes said EUREKA ! instead...(boring huh? =p )

"I have it!" or "I've got it!"
You've made a great discovery. The story is that Archimedes worked out how water displacement works while he was in the bath. This was the answer to a problem he was working on. He screamed out "eureka!" (literally, "good discovery!") and ran down the street, naked.
