Since GrrlScientists asked:

You Belong in Dublin |
 Friendly and down to earth, you want to enjoy Europe without snobbery or pretensions. You're the perfect person to go wild on a pub crawl... or enjoy a quiet bike ride through the old part of town. |
And the irony is, of course, that Dublin is where I escaped from in 1994.
And changing one answer gives me:
|
You Belong in Paris |
 You enjoy all that life has to offer, and you can appreciate the fine tastes and sites of Paris. You're the perfect person to wander the streets of Paris aimlessly, enjoying architecture and a crepe. |
Where I'll be for a week in the summer.

What European City Do You Belong In?

I just posted an entry on Darwin's status as a scientist, and wanted to tag on this brief run-down on some biography. (Although I'll say right off that I'm *not* a historical Darwin scholar, and a lot of brilliant people are.)
First, Darwin is the most biographed scientist. Second, that means…
First of all, i apologize for leaving everyone high and dry with no word. I received a few emails from worry worts (which I appreciated!), but seriously all is well. I just needed a few days post-Europe to collect my thoughts and re-adjust to life in the good US of A. Anyway, here's a recap of how…
I gave this a go and also ended up back in Dublin. I was in Ireland for a bit in the summer of '97 as part of my first overseas experience. While there, I found out, among other things, that cobblestones wreak havoc on the alignment of wheelchair wheels and a few free samples of whiskey make it much harder to get back on the tour bus.
Dr. Lynch and all:
Despite my previous comment, Guinness tends to be "adult beverage" of choice. I also like Ben & Jerry's. What happens when you put them together? "Black & Tan" ice cream apparently http://benjerry.com/our_products/flavor_details.cfm?product_id=180. I think for now I'll stick to drinking pints instead of eating them.
And the world's loneliest Web users are..
DUBLIN (Reuters) - Ireland may be enjoying stellar economic growth and seen as one of the best places in the world to live, but its inhabitants are apparently also the globe's loneliest.
Google Trends, which works out how many searches have been done via the Internet search engine on particular terms, showed the word "lonely" was entered most frequently by Internet users in Ireland: http://www.google.com/trends?q=lonely.
The Irish, enjoying new-found wealth and a flood of immigration following more than a century of economic decline, are followed in the misery stakes by residents of Singapore and New Zealand -- although Singaporeans are the most frequent searchers of "happiness."
Google Trends calculates the ratio of searches for a given term coming from each city, region or language divided by total Google searches coming from the same area.
Ireland's capital, Dublin, topped the city list for "lonely" searches, followed by Melbourne, Australia and Auckland, New Zealand.
In 2004, the Economist magazine named Ireland the best place to live in the world in a "quality of life" assessment.
