Eg ringdi til gamla, og hann var eitt sindur ørkymladur. Mangan hevdi hann verid á fjálli í gassádali, men ikki hevdi hann hoyrt nakad um nakra "Gassa". Tá eg so gav honum títt clue um at hon át okkurt, so segdi hann at tad var ein Gæsa úr Kirkjubø sum át kjøt í fastu..
Kanska blandar tú tingini saman? Eg fari bara at ganga út frá, at hetta er tad tættasta vit koma uppá eitt svar, og fari at seta ein nýggjan spurning.
It's called someones needle, but wrongly named.
Its's more than 6000 miles from home.
It has two brothers, one in england and one in france
It spends its days standin in a park.
What is it?, who built it? and who placed it where it is today?

Gæsa owned everything on Stremoy up until a valley between Kvivik and Vestmanna. I don't think Boddin is mistaken at all.

Cleopatra's Needle in Central Park, New York City.
They were originally erected in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis on the orders of Thutmose III, around 1450 BC.
It's an ancient egyptian obelisk. It was given to the United States as a gift from the egyptian monarch in 1879 to foster trade relations. William Vanderbilt financed the process of moving it, and Henry Honychurch Gorringe placed it in it's current location.
Question coming up...

Name the scientist.
A world famous poet claimed noone had influenced him more. A world famous philosopher knew of noone greater.
He is his nations most famous scientist, often mentioned alongside Aristotle, Galileo and Newton as a father of science.

A few more hints:
If he had lived in the 20th century he could have won the Nobel Prize in more then one field.
The Statue of this scientist stands alongside Aristotle, Galileo and Newton on the campus of a highly acclaimed university.
The poet and the philosopher that hold him in high acclaim are both from continental Europe.

I mgiht be tempted to guess at Blaise Pascal, but then I'd say Torellion would be the closest to the scientist.

Roffen is closer then Torellion
The last hint: If you write the key words in one of the previous hints into google you'll get a hit that tells you exactly who this scientist is.

Not sure why you think Torellion is closer to Pascal than I am (do you know my profession?  ), but I didn't mean closer in the sense of profession. I was being a little more to the point.

My guess would be Francis Bacon. Famous poet and scientist. I think he was one of the first to talk seriously about scientific method. I have read some of his poems and essays... the man was brilliant.
Am I close?

Not the correct one, but you're a lot closer then the others at least.
Well the others apart from vuzman, who figured it out long ago and is now having a good time on the account of Gongumenn ignorance.

I had just checked up on this guy when Norlander posted the question and remembered the quotes he mentioned. Didn't think it was fair of me to answer since there are reasons this question is easier to guess for me.
I am somewhat amazed that this question hasn't been answered yet... I checked, the hints so far should be more than enough.
