  1. gusse the POD and the nations of this map

    Me neither. Are you going to post the map here or do you have a link to it?
  2. It's Superman-Dehaven novel!

    I don't think there is enough different about Clark's life to be Elseworld. Luthor's plan to take over the world makes this AH.
  3. It's Superman-Dehaven novel!

    How much have you read? Right at the beginning he discovers he is invulnerable when he gets shot in the face.
  4. Assasination attempt succesful...

    Maybe this is far-fetched, but what if, instead of Oswald standing trial as he did, and shown to be a complete loony, someone had killed him, gunned him down in front of the courthouse or someplace? Would there be suspicion that the Dallas police allowed it to happen? Would there be a conspiracy...
  5. Jesus Christ not born/or matured

    I disagree. Islam was a "There is only one God" response to Arabian idolatry. The absence of Jesus as a historical figure would not have changed the core doctrine of Muhammad's preaching at all. The Qur'an would just be shorter. Yeah, I want to hear about this, too. Which country is it?
  6. AH challenge: several miles long zepplins

    Why only one balloon? How about dozens of them, not only in a horizontal plane, but several layers of balloons vertically? All holding up a single enclosed space big enough for hundreds of passengers.
  7. Draka for Women

    Ever read "The Good Earth" by Pearl S. Buck? It is based on her experiences growing up in nineteenth century China, where Chinese women were treated like that. Their parents specifically referred to them as as "slaves", not daughters. As for a TL female dominated, there was an episode of Star...
  8. Challenge: World Government

    I agree. How about a far worse WWII? Both the Allies and the Axis have nukes, and use them. Germ warfare. Race and religious rioting in many countries. Massive famine, including the U.S. and western Europe. When it's all over, due to total exhaustion and fear, national leaders confer...
  9. ATL nations you'd be likely to be living in

    I'm moving to Finland. They are the only ones who figured out how to fight back against the Domination (even though they ultimately lost).
  10. Ecological WI re extinct species

    Steller's sea cow, discovered 1741 in the north Pacific, hunted to extinction by 1768.
  11. Right wing terror attack 2003-4

    Torqumada: I wasn't ranting about you. ;)
  12. Great man (or perhaps woman) survives

    "Corporal Hitler, we fought beside each other in the trenches." "Ah, yes, I remember you were badly wounded. I am glad you pulled through. It's good to see you again." "I've read your book, Mein Kampf." "Excellent. Let's get you registered as a member of my National Socialist Party...
  13. Right wing terror attack 2003-4

    Political rant - We invaded Afghanistan because of 9-11. Our purpose was to eliminate the organization behind the terrorists. But - after Oklahoma City the U.S. government did NOT round up all militia members, forcibly disarm them, and give them, their spouses, and children the choice of signing...
  14. Live and let die: an alternate set of Beatles

    How about "the American Invasion"? Instead of British musicians coming here for fame and fortune (those that do have only moderate success because the spearhead, the Beatles, has been lost), Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis move to England?
  15. AH Challenge: More Christian western world

    In 1896 Charles M. Shelton published a novel titled "In His Steps". It was the story of several socially prominent, wealthy Christians who decided to spend a year not taking any action in their private lives or business ventures without first asking themselves "If Jesus were in this situation...
  16. Prince Charles killed in car wreck in Paris

    In this ATL Lady Sarah Chatto, daughter of Princess Margaret, wouldn't be in the car packed with Royals. She would dump her husband Daniel and move to the U.S. to marry me. If she ever finds out about this post, I'm DEAD. :)
  17. Cities in America destroyed 1962 War

    And yet another thought. 1962 was the Civil Rights era. During and after a nuclear war would Southern Governors have clamped down by force? Would the Ku Klux Klan form vigilante groups? On the other side, the Deacons for Defense and Justice in Louisiana, and the Black Panthers in California...
  18. Cities in America destroyed 1962 War

    I forget exactly when the "nuclear winter" theory began to be discussed. As early as the late 1980s, perhaps? Sure as heck wasn't in 1962. If any scientists had envisioned the possibility way back then, they did not inform the American people. Come spring 1963, the transportation and agriculture...
  19. Cities in America destroyed 1962 War

    I was a pre-teen in 1962, living in a suburb of Milwaukee Wisconsin, 90 miles north of Chicago. My memories are a bit vague and I wasn't, at that age, checking evacuation routes in case of nuclear attack. Maybe we could all have gotten out, but I am pessimistic. The interstate highways were less...
  20. WI:Dystopian Surburbia

    It's been almost 40 years since I read "A Wrinkle in Time" myself. Let's see - It controlled everybody's thinking, forced them to total conformity. But IT wasn't able to monitor the thoughts of all those people all the time. If someone broke away, like the little boy, IT didn't find out right...
