  1. As an Austrian, he would have known to make up a "better" fake address. Everyone in Austria knows that Vienna's zip codes all start with a 1, with the next 2 numbers being the district number. So "1010 Vienna" is an address in the first district of Vienna. That's pretty much common knowledge. A person of his age would at the very least be very familiar with the zipcode of 1136 Wien, which was the zipcode you pretty much heard at the very least once a day on state-owned TV until well into the 1990s, because that was the zipcode of the national TV station's PO-box used for quizzes and letters to the "Österreichischer Rundfunk" (Austrian TV and radio station). The Zipcode 4472 also doesn't exist. It would be a code belonging to the state of Upper Austria (zipcodes staring with 4 are from that state). Also, in Austria zipcodes are written before, not after, the town. I.e. "1010 Wien" instead of "Wien, 1010". "Ainstettersn" also isn't something you would find in a name of a road here. No later than the "rsn" at the end, which is very, very uncommon for any kind of German word to end in. It may sound German to the "foreign" ear, but the word doesn't "sound right" to a native speaker. Likely, it's a malapropism of a German word he knew, maybe heard somewhere in the news. The Austrian town of "Amstetten", which does have a remarkable similarity with the word used there, got into international news around that time, where he may have picked it up. That kinda tells me wherever that person was from, it's probably not Austria.

  2. My great-grand uncle worked in an explosives factory, and that way long, long before safety was considered important. Accidents were common and the chance to actually survive to retirement was slim. He also was a heavy smoker, which make everyone expect him to die in an explosion sooner or later. He died a day after retiring from lung cancer.

  3.  @TwatMcGee  The point is that any Austrian would have made up a better fake address. so I doubt that he was Austrian.

  5.  @chickenlover657  If you knew the Danish TV, you'd know that they don't have much else to entertain themselves.

  9. Let's see... books with lots and lots of tables of cryptic shit that makes no sense, illustrations of dubious quality and content that look alien and weird, written in a familiar looking language but that isn't decipherable... Anyone here playing D&D? You should be familiar with that.
