My thoughts are with you, Takao.

I am sorry Neserk...but considering the subject...you should correct the title...

Either Austria's President dies or
Austrian President dies (or dead)

nitpicky? yes. But don't give the Euro crowd any more reason to doubt our intelligence.... :)

yeah it is all over the newspapers now... he already had the night before multiple organ failure and this night the same...as soon as the news got know around midnight local time...the national tv stations (ORF 1,ORF 2 ...kinda BBC) switched to some classical music concert (my guess: a requiem) lead by karajan and some opera singers...for around 1 hour 20 minutes with a banner on the lower screen... very nice from them
today the first comments from the different churches (i heard already the comments from the catholics,protestants,isrealites )sp?) on the radio) and politicians are flowing in.... flags on the officials buildings are on half height (as far as i heard..)

DE MORTIUS NIL NISI BENE....
