I can only imagine what any locals who hadn't been following the AC campaign would be thinking....
"Honey, do you hear that?"
"I think it's a helicopter, but it sounds awfully big"
(go outside)
"What the !@#$ is that thing??!!"

"In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

I´m not proud about that (we made a few better inventions), but twrch (the "ch" stands for Suisse, I guess) is right, the darn Cuckoo clock is from the Blackwood forest Germany.
