Bestattung Wien, the official funeral service of the city of Vienna, joins the “turn human remainings into a diamond” club!

How?
Death > body > cremation > ashes > carbon ZACKZACK > diamond.

Do it! Do it!
You would be known as the hardest known natural material! Your hardness and high dispersion of light would make you useful for industrial applications and jewelry! You would be specifically renowned as a mineral with superlative physical qualities! You would cut glass, maybe in a bank robbery!

Michael’s remarks on Korean food in Vienna.

“Yesterday I went out for dinner and my primary goal was to find a Korean restaurant that could fill my needs for rice with kimchi. In Vienna, we currently only have five Korean restaurants and not one of them is Korean only, they always mix it with either Chinese or Japanese food. However, I found one (Yoo, Stumpergasse)”

On his page he shows two pics of spicy beef. A comparsion between Korean food in China and Korean food in Austria.

I think I have to check it out!

That’s soo[...]ooo Viennese…

A struggling Austrian toyshop owner was arrested after he tried to rob a bank with one of his toy guns.

The 44-year-old, from Vienna, stormed into a local bank with a stocking over his head and a gun in his hand, and demanded clerks empty their tills.

But a security guard noticed the ‘weapon’ was a plastic water pistol and asked him to hand over the toy to avoid “an even bigger embarrassment”.

The would-be robber told police: “I was driven to this desperate deed after my toy shop went bankrupt.”
