Ripon, now that is importantSpace is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

Madrid now can go to where the sun doesn't shine, AFAIK.
Can you explain your problem, please?

no. I said 150 important cities, not the 150 most important cities. And for the country Port Moresby is in, it is important.Port Moresby is one of the top 150 important cities in the world?Quod Me Nutrit Me DestruitComment

Yeah, but is the country Port Moresby is in particularly important? How many people do you know who have to go to Papua New Guinea on business?
Now Hull, that is important
Perhaps Birmingham should have been on that list as well, it would have made Port Moresby feel quite proud of itself

Toronto's #4! Montreal is twice as bad to live in (#8) and Calgary is four times as bad (#16).Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

I thought Birmingham was destroyed in that quake.
Even if Birmingham had been destroyed in the earthquake, would anyone have been able to tell the difference?

Oh, so it's not the top 150, but some randomly selected cities from the "important" list.Originally posted by Saint Marcus

I am sure Port Moresby is very important to the people in PNG, just like Perth is important to the citizens there.
Hm, so that means every city is important.

If it ranked cities by importance, I think New York would be just a little higherOriginally posted by Saint Marcus
doesn't work that way. it's not a study of the 150 best cities in the world, it's a study of 150 important cities in the world. Port Moresby isn't the 150th best city in the world, it's just the worst city of those that have been studied.. Amybe i missnderstood you tho.
