Fu Long! Fu Hu?

Media_http22mediatumb_rsebk

A baby panda born at the Vienna Zoo was baptised as Fu Hu with his human godfather, Austria's economy minister, Reinhold Mitterlehner, at his side. The name Fu Hu was chosen in a vote on the internet. The little panda's name is close to that of his big brother, Fu Long, who has since been returned to China. Mother Yang Yang and father Long Hui are also due to leave Vienna Zoo in 2013.

The Battle of Karánsebes
A fight broke out between hussars and infantrymen of the Austrian army campaigning against the Ottomans in Wallachia in 1788. An officer shouting "Halt! Halt!" was misheard as "Allah! Allah!" causing a mass panic. Two days later, the Ottoman army arrived. They discovered 10,000 dead and wounded soldiers.
