Arse, agreed to give a talk and the guy is a fellow of the Royal Society, so I can't really let him down.   :hmm:

That's why they pay you the big bucks. Besides, those burgers don't make themselves.

Sometimes the scale of countries you have in your head is funny. See Austria and Israel. Their population is similar - Austria's 8.4 vs. Israel's 7.9 million.

However, Israel's area is only about a quarter of that Austria. That country is seriously small. Israel is in the same size category as Macedonia or Slovenia.

I always enjoyed comparing the population, and total area, of the Yukon.  30,000 people in an area larger than all of Germany. :)

That's nothing.  The moon is much bigger then Germany and has even fewer people.  Colder as well.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Or Austria's 8.4 to NYC's 8.2...with Austria be 68 times larger!

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I think NYC's use of vertical space reduces that proportion several times.

Well I suppose it's better then creating new threads for each of these things.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny.

Do British people like tea? DO BRITISH PEOPLE LIKE TEA you ask?
Sir, maybe you are not aware but for the past 300 years British foreign policy has revolved around two singular objectives.
One, stop any single power from dominating the European continent.
Two, get more tea.
And not necessarily in that order.
Sir. The British people do not just like tea. It is the very essence of our being.
