Just wondering, what major cities do you live closest to, and how far is it? Do you know if other SG:ers live nearby and have you ever met any of them? If not, would you like to if given the opportunity, and what would be your "dream date" if so?

For me, Stockholm is the closest major city. I live about 1 hour north of it. Only know of Fnord that lives there, and never met him. I think he's a fellow board game geek. So if I ever met him, it would probably be to do a gaming session. :)

Did you go to see the caves?

Not the big ones, but we went cave diving to the side of one of the big beaches. Went up inside a cavern that was accessible from the water, then through it and at the end we had to dive 3-4 meters to get out on the other side. One of the coolest experiences.

One of the guys has worked as a diving instructor, so he swam down and out to check it was safe before the rest of us going through. Otherwise it would have been a 1-2 hour track back. :P

I'm about 45 minutes from Houston, Texas.

I have no idea if any other SGers live nearby but my general impression is "no".

I wouldn't mind meeting one or more fellow SGers. No idea what we would do, maybe go bowling or something.

I live in a 200k+ city. If that is not major enough, next ones would be Düsseldorf (612.178) or Cologne (1.060.582).

Only 4k here, according to your numbers it would be Arnhem with 150k (Netherlands) or Oberhausen , then I probably follow you, because I'm lost in these numbers

I'm about a 15-30min drive away from San Antonio (Depends on traffic.) I imagine there are a few people from SG there.

EDIT: Dream date? Going to an aquarium, zoo, or cave. Just getting coffee would be fine. I haven't met anyone from SG, although I wouldn't mind.

Well close is relative. I know one user to live in Utrecht and one from Antwerp. An American would call that "living in my backyard".

Moved to Norway because they are more accepting of your rat brain dissecting?

Aw, yes. Remember, its Latin name is Rattus Norvegicus :-) (really)
In fact, the rat brain is the thesis of my girlfriend, I provide software support only

That's rather interesting! What does the name mean, I take it there's some other explanation other than "Norwegian"?

Comment has been collapsed.

It is a misnomer based on the English accusing Norwegians with spreading the rats, while in fact the English imported them themselves, from Asia or the Middle East. Even Charles Dickens published about that there were no rats that time in Norway, but lemmings.
