You're a fast reader. The Two Towers is a pretty heavy tome.

Most interestingly, the majority of people who believed this were germans ... it seems that Spiegel Online is blindly trusted by almost everyone here :)
So, everyone, no need to worry, everything is fine, we now continue with out scheduled programming :)

Well, it was a good idea, though doing a little search in Spiegel and Google showed me, that there is no such news - but it could have been. The Rewe Group has a Touristic branch with hotels and stuff, but even there i wasn't able to find any news about that (also checked Manager Magazine *G*). After all, if it would happen, i wouldn't mind - we have a contract and reorganizing a structure with 119 Hotels takes a little bit more than just a few months *G*
Though i read Spiegel online i don't trust it anymore without verificating other news sources.
Spikester:
Jeez...that was the second April Fools joke I fell for.
When I first read it in the forum, I thought it was a joke, but then when it was cross posted to the LiveJournal community, I took it more seriously.
Now that the worry is over, I can look forward to EF again :D
I really must remember not to be so darned gullible on April 1st :/
Tseatah:
I'm surprised that no-one else seemed to draw the parallel between Target buying the Adam's Mark (AnthroCon) and Rewe buying the Ringberg.
I'd assume that's what inspired this particular jape, which made it so obvious it wasn't true :)
