If the Cretinists were butt-hurt by the Google banner, they should have heard what Johanson has to say about them in public. It ain't "Merry War on Xmas," that's for sure. Yes, he was a great speaker and came across as a very nice guy.
A few years ago I spent my birthday in Vienna museums. (And a couple other days as well!) Have to admit that I probably spent the most time in the Technical Museum.
Bad Centennial On-Topic: Among the interesting displays there - the car in which Franz Ferdinand and his wife were riding when they were killed in Sarajevo in 1914. And the blood-stained jacket he was wearing. In fact, a whole room full of assassination memorabilia, including Prinzip's pistol. Very interesting but sort of...creepy. And in the basement, some gigantic Krupp cannon! And a cutaway U-boat!
Dept. of Weird & Useless Trivia: famous Austrian U-boat commanders in WWI included one guy who became famous much later and for different reasons - Georg von Trapp of the "Sound of Mucus" family.
