Vienna & Napoleon (Score:1)

by domm (4030) on 2004.10.18 17:14 (#35304) Homepage Journal

There's a relatively famous quote, attributed to Napoleon, that reads "If you say you're going to take Vienna, take Vienna."
When I cycle to my fathers place, my route takes me through the Lobau and past a small memorial called "Napoleonstein" (or something). It marks the place where Napoleon stayed with his army during the Battle of Wagram [wikipedia.org] (when he took Vienna). It is basically in the middle of nowhere, with lots of alluvial forest and mosquitos (in summer) around.
All of which has nothing to do with Perl or Ovids post, but is just a curious coincident I'd like to report before going to bed...
