@paulg And who will be their Gavril Princip?

@paulg It'll last for about ten more years?

@paulg And why's that exactly? :-)

@paulg shit - they will finally declare war on someone in four years from now?

@paulg then who's Hitler? thanks for the Goodwin's Law assist

@paulg so when does it die

@paulg Perhaps. But do they have an arch-duke?

@paulg Microsoft is Microsoft in 2012, nothing more or less. Surface shows there could be a twist in the tale, like so many others.

@paulg I don't think you're giving the Austro-Hungarian Empire enough respect. #habsburgs

@paulg I thought they were the Turkish Ottoman Empire. I don't think they will break up but will just become less and less significant. =)
