About Stockholm

Stockholm is the capital and most populous city of Sweden, as well as the largest urban area in the Nordic countries. Approximately 1 million people live in the municipality, with 1.6 million in the urban area, and 2.5 million in the metropolitan area. The city stretches across fourteen islands where Lake Mälaren flows into the Baltic Sea. Outside the city to the east, and along the coast, is the island chain of the Stockholm archipelago. The area has been settled since the Stone Age, in the 6th millennium BC, and was founded as a city in 1252 by Swedish statesman Birger Jarl. The city serves as the county seat of Stockholm County.

In 1997, there were two researchers in Stockholm. They released a paper called 'Nitric Oxide and Inflammation: The Answer is Blown in the Wind', which is clever. Then several years later, two other researchers coincidentally published a piece called 'Blood on the Tracks, a Simple Twist of Fate'.

Other times Stockholm came up

  1. They just built it too top-heavy. It keeled right over. Oh, my God. It's an amazing story. Is that the one they have in... In Stockholm? In Stockholm, yeah. They just heard about that. They dredged it and they have built an entire museum around it. You guys are not going to believe this. Can you see the mug I'm drinking from? It's got a ship on it.

  2. You would have picked that in Switzerland would you? No. For me they were always the train prince of Europe. I have a nomination. I nominate Sweden because I went to Stockholm a few years ago and the train there was so amazing. It was really lovely. It felt like first class but standard class and I had to sign up saying if you're more than two minutes late we'll refund you in two minutes.

  3. What is a friend other than someone that you've captured? You know, it's an Italian guy who's just like, I love you guys, you're really fun. I'll come back to Lichtenstein. Sounds like Stockholm syndrome to me. In 2007, 170 Swiss troops marched into Lichtenstein by accident on a training exercise, they crossed the border. Basically, it's their army going into another country, which could be kind of a bad thing, I guess.
