    So like maybe a third of New York proper?

      Philly has more people than Staten Island or the Bronx.

      We're talking the #5 largest US city by population after NYC, LA, Chicago, and Houston. It's just that #5 largest US city only has about as many people as a New York borough.

        Regardless of it's total population, Philly is still a ****hole full of ignorant yokels.

        I say we dust off and nuke the whole site from orbit. It's the only way to B. Sure!.

          While being 5 times larger in land area...

          Manhattan is only ~20% of nyc's pop, but in all honesty it's pretty much 100% of what makes nyc special (well, let's reserve 10% for bk)

          Without mnh, nyc is just 4 philadelphias.

            Brooklyn has 80% of what makes NYC insufferable.

                A question:
                does it need to be from orbit?

                  I was thinking moon-based lasers. That still counts as orbit, right?
                  If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

                    I can confirm that Irn Bru is referred to as juice in Scotland, and by the Scottish elements of my household.

                    • if pop also means popular, then aren't all chart-hitters whether they're doing hip-hop, or metal, or hard rock, or reggae all playing pop as well. Therefore Eminem may be playing pop music.

                      Edit: I know music is not related to this thread. But the word Pop, as used for Soft-Drinks (as we call them in Australia) could just meen Popular.
