    Mod: note to all contributors: if you choose to answer questions, please be willing to ask them too.
    With that entreaty in mind, I try to apply the rule-of-thumb: if I'm not in a position to ask a question then I don't answer.

    What do you want? Me to read over 2600 posts? Not a hope buddy. Blame the question setter for not acknowledging the first correct answer, no me.

    Srameen - I believe that Bill Bryson is the author you're looking for.

    Here's one for ye.

    What have the following places in common:
    Madrid, Magdeburg, Palermo, Madeira Islands, and Galway.

    Yes, Bryson wrote it and it should be a compulsory item in all homes.

    Have they their cathedrals in common?
