being sort of a science-guy, I'll guess Max Planck Institute

OCM has got it! I'm at the University of Heidelberg.

Quote:

Modern scientific psychiatry; psychopharmacology; psychiatric genetic environmental physics; and modern sociology were introduced as scientific disciplines by Heidelberg faculty. Associated with 30 Nobel Prize laureates, the university continues to emphasize research. It is consistently ranked among Europe's top overall universities, and is an international education venue for doctoral students, with approximately 1,000 doctorates successfully completed every year, and with more than one third of the doctoral students coming from abroad. International students from some 130 countries account for more than 20 percent of the entire student body.Heidelberg comprises two major campuses: one in Heidelberg's Old Town and another in the Neuenheimer Feld quarter on the outskirts of the city. The university's noted alumni include eleven domestic and foreign Heads of State or Heads of Government.

ahh, that reminds me of the good ole college days :) ...mainly because I hear there is a lot of beer in Heidelberg.

Nice one, Ocm? I'm looking forward to our next journey in search of the unknown.

are you in festering pile of hog renderings?

Yes, phil.

No, Nick.

You wouldn't worry about that, would you monk?

Yes, phil.

No, Nick.

are you in New Guinea?

yes & no. (!)

the sea comes rushing in, though.

I don't think the sea gets there.

Go north.

maybe on an off-day.

this village is not at all prominent.

are you north of auckland?

yes, in the Northland.

no, but you're in the right harbor, the Hokianga.

I spent more than four of the most invigorating yet stultifying months of my life there in 1977...

I missed the end of the hunt. Good find, unc. Where you going now?

ok, here's the deal: we're leaving for florida tomorrow morning at 0 dark hundred so it would be unfair to leave you all guessing throughout the weekend with no feedback from me as to where i might be; ergo, i'm going to let badnick take my turn and hope that he remembers me when he's in this type of jam...

i'll be back, hopefully, sunday evening...

I would love to accept this honor, but here's my similar dilemna.

I'm leaving early tomorrow for Ohio to attend my niece's wedding and won't be back until late Sunday. I'm staying at my uncle's house where almost certainly there won't be internet service. My guess is I'll be offline after tonight until Sunday night.

In light of this double wammy, I hearby pass the baton back to Ocm?

Ocm? bud, if for some reason this doesn't sit well with you, let's just take a break until Sunday night. It seems to me that only a few of us are in this game on a regular basis and now unc and I will both be out for a couple days. As you wish.

i'll wait 'til sunday night if that's ok with everybody, including amy and tully...

Have a good weekend, gentlemen.

See some of you in another thread and back here Sunday night.

tully - no

nick - barely...

are you in the British Isles?

barely, as within 100 yards of the Greenwich Meridian?

within 4 minutes, geographically speaking...

If my figuring is correct, this means you are within about 5 miles of the Meridian.

"...The size gradually decreases to zero as the meridians converge at the poles. At a latitude of 45 degrees, a degree of longitude is approximately 49 miles..."

Are you in a coastal town?

neither, nor...

i am just a shade north of 51 degrees north latitude...

no-ish...

ok, clue:

a famous entertainer was born here...

you're so generous.

did he die in New York?

pontypridd wales?

Balderdash! That's NW... let me go walk the dogs and think about this.

ocm - no, he died in california...

tully - i'm swinging in england (see above)...

Eltham, London?

Yeah I realized that last guess was very, very wrong.

GeoHack - Eltham

birthplace of bob hope...

thanks for the mammaries...

YouTube - Thanks for the Memory

you go, tully...

Only person I could think of that was born in England and died in California, but I'm sure there's a lot.

Let me think on it.

good old Mr. Hope. I liked that guy.

are you in a municipality on the rio grande?

are you at the Texas Prison Museum in Huntsville, home of "Old Sparky" the famous old electric chair?

are you in a coastal municipality?

Do you need to be so clear?
