This, which lacks a couple of hyphens, was the museum night combined with anticipation of the World Cup. What I want to know is, did anything exciting happen with these balloons after I left? Two of them were going lightish. Very unfair to the ducks, though.

Viennese truffles / Wiener Trüffel

This term seems to have two meanings. See Der Neubauer Hunde-Knigge and Scheißtag. For doggerel and songs see www.hundekot.at. Or alternatively Confiserie Heindl.

Patently silly cites and links to a patent for a Receptacle Assembly for Receiving Canine Fecal Matter (with drawings) (via a comment in Metroblogging Vienna).

Meanwhile, in Fürth, not everyone is as lucky as I am to live in the same building as Hektor, the model for the latest Hundehäufchen leaflet.
