VigilantWatcher Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 A Curristan political commentator has commented on Austria's propaganda on the Curristan News Network programe Political Debate. "Austria seems to be hardening its stance on all of its neighbours. They feel old wounds and want to increase their security as Europe has been for many years a hotbed of tension. I feel that Austria is only just recovering from recent events and will be wary for some time to come." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those that do not want to see us dead will not feel any change in relations, such as the Italian Republic. Otherwise, your assessment is quite correct."

Lynneth Posted November 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 (edited) Österreichische Nachrichtenagentur (oena; Austrian News Agency) Newsflash - Wien "This just in: The King has been spotted driving a Leopard 3 tank through Vienna. From where he got it is unknown, but at least we now know that he can drive one. Right now, nobody died, but four cars were already wrecked, one of them worth hunderds of thousands. Who's going to pay for this?! The police is helpless, they haven't been trained to stop an actual tank. Meanwhile, many of the people seeing the King in the tank actually cheer him on, while two army APCs have begun following the heavy vehicle."

The king has won a local city's award for 'Most Awesome Video Ever', and has been sent a check for $10,000 dollars, substitutable for a year's worth of pornography, fit for a king.

Lynneth Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 AR Alpha Science and Education channel "Why, hello there. Unfortunately, the series on noteworthy cities of Austria has ended. However, there's a new series. Can you guess what this is? No? Well, let me tell you. This is the government going completely insane, as it seems. That is the Vienna City Tower. Why is it so crazy, you ask? For one thing, it'll be the most advanced structure on the entire planet if it's built, aside from the Space Elevator. It also is planned to be 2,400 metres tall. You heard that right. 2 kilometres and four hundred metres. That's one and a half miles. And that's incredible. I can's wait for construction to begin, which is scheduled to be within the next two months. Now, for some technical information: Its design has 400 floors with a 200 km/h (or 125 mph) vertical bullet train acting as the main elevator. The design is inspired by the Eiffel Tower to better deal with the massive wind forces pushing on it. It has a central core with 6 outer buildings that are connected to the central core every 100 floors. This design both stabilizes the structure and spreads out its mass. It's actually possible, as unbelievable as it sounds. And while it's the tallest structure to be built, it's by no means the only one. Look at the DIB 200, for example. The DIB's design consists of 12 cylindrical modules 50 metres (or 164 ft) across and 200 metres (or 656 ft) long, which are stacked one on top of the other to form four towers that rise to different heights from the corners of a quadrangle at the base. One tower is two modules high, two towers are three modules high, and the fourth tower consists of four modules and climbs the full 800 metres. The modular design would help keep down costs and make technical problems more manageable. The gaps between the modules are designed to reduce wind loading on the structure. The first two tiers provide office space for about 50,000 people, on the third tier there will be a hotel with 2,500 rooms, while the top tier is a residential block for more than 300 homes. People will use high-speed lifts to shuttle between tiers, and slower ones to reach individual floors. Though the architect is sticking with proven technology, it is taking conventional lift design to the limit with cables as long as 600 metres to provide the building's most direct service. Between tiers, horizontal sky lobbies will link the towers, and contain shops, sports and cultural centres. Its planned height is 800 metres. Or the Century Tower, which will stand in Nuremberg. The Century Tower will be a 1,022 metre supertall skyscraper and once built, will consist of 200 floors, with the architectural and engineering works headed by Robert Vorhoelzer, a world-class Austrian architect. Magnificent, isn't it? There is also an expansion of Koper planned, with the 'Koper Citadel' being cited as the most likely construction project that will be made true. When completed, the highest part of the Citadel will reach 1,012 metres into the sky, with a total of roughly 240 floors. How much better can Austria actually get? Unfortunately, that's it for tonight. See you the next time." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
