Shaving foam? Feathers? What manner of madness is this? I thought I'd already clearly pointed out that everything in my world is, in fact, made out of a wide variety of biscuits. Our wafer roof sags and collapses whenever therer's so much as a shower, and you don't even want to think...

Actually, I'm not sure. However, most Viennese buildings seem to proudly display the date of their creation somewhere on their facade. I'll have a look tonight and let you know.
