    The sherpa just told Manfred that ‘Jungfrau’ does not refer to a young woman. Turns out he climbed all that way just for an alp.

    Addressing earlier comments about Manfred’s depicted footwear, the museum says (see References in my title URL above) they’re long pointy shoes, not skates.

    When I saw this picture, the first thing that I thought of was Oakland Raiders 43 – New York Jets 32. and after 52 years I still have no idea how the last two Raiders’ touchdowns were scored.
