A side benefit of the recent upheavals in Egypt has been to inform me that Alexandria is the second largest city there. And all this time I’d thought that Alexandria, along with its library, had been underwater for, I dunno, 20,000 years or so, pretty much like my stock options everywhere I’ve worked.
In my defense, Alexandria’s population of 4.1 million makes them barely a mid-sized town by Indian standards. It’s a lot to keep track of.
