    I take it they got to 'C' in the list of countries in the world and got bored. Also, I'd expect the Economist to be able to see that there's 6 in their top 5?

    Or the expense account ran out.

    Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

      According to the Economist, the world's top 5 6 most liveable cities are:

      1. Melbourne, Australia
      2. Vienna, Austria
      3. Vancouver, Canada
      4. Toronto, Canada
      5. Adelaide, Australia
      6. Calgary, Canada

      I'm surprised Sydney, Australia didn't make it to the top 6.  Also, it's clear the Economist hasn't driven on the same roads that I drive on. :) Clickety[^] /ravi

      Liveable city? Isn't that an oxymoron?

            I always find these top-ten lists (most liveable cities, best beaches, happiest inhabitants, best food) amusing and essentially worthless (at best). On the other hand, I'd not mind being paid to make up a list of top something.

            That makes you number one on the new list of the people most disinterested in top 10 lists.

                Too many people, if you ask me. Roma is liveable just this month.

                    Yeah I live in one of those cities and must say the commute to the suburbs experience is apparently not part of the criteria.

                      The top 10 goes to S(witzerland)[^] and the bottom 10 extends to the U's. A graphic there shows all of the cities in the list along with thier scores/ranking. It also links to the full report which is behind a registration wall; which does give some insight into their logic.

                      Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt
