For those who can understand German:
http://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/zuerich/...story/15564992
Basically, they're calling for volunteers to test the wind- and earthquake-resistance of Zurich's newest high rise building. The article goes on to say that originally 70 recruits from the training centre in Birmensdorf can't come because they're hospitalized due to stomach cramps and the runs, so they're to be replaced with volunteers (who can use a hotline to call)

My local paper said that Kimi Raikkonen was going to be at the Baar Brewery today between 4 and 6pm.
Me thinks not.
