His family is swiss, but he is just born in Netherlands, and wenn he was 5 they move back to Basel Switzerland. Remenber in 17th we dont have the modern citizenship like today, so Bernoulli was legaly and cultural and educational swiss... I dont know how he become a Dutch becouse his 5 years was in Netherlands. But a scientist like Dan Gilbert should not tank Wiki as source doesnt he?

LOL, well I'll tell you what... I'm sure you could have a much better feeling about flushing your money down the toilet if you can convince yourself that you'll win it back a million times over.

Actually, according to Wikipedia, Daniel Bernoulli was both Duch and Swiss (his parents maybe?)
