  1. Rock albums from alternate timelines

    On the Bowie note... How about the rest of Queen convince Freddie to scrap lots of the sub-par material on the awful Hot Space album, and instead record a full album with Bowie and Freddie singing duet and/or alternating songs. This could easily be accomplished if the chemistry trumped both...
  2. Rock albums from alternate timelines

    Roger Waters is his name. And I think this would be an interesting combination. But if it means no "Ziggy" album, that would be sad; as that is one of the best albums ever made. :(
  3. Future earth Climate Help

    future Earth map One big problem is that N. America, Europe and Africa are much closer to each other in your map. Unfortunately, this isn't happening. The Atlantic is actually increasing in area, as the Mid-Atlantic ridge pumps out magma and the 4+ plates are getting further away from each...
  4. A Europe "Pearl Harbor"

    German "Pearl Harbor" attack There is a scenario in one alt-history book I read, where a radically different Hitler has a much different war. He's blames the British for starving Germans during WWI and not the "stab in the back/Versailles" blaming of the Jews in OTL. In this scenario the KM...
  5. WI Milk Lived

    Nice to see some LGBT family here. :) Takin' over! lol So, are we talking that HM is shot and survives or that Dan White doesn't even get to him after shooting Moscone? Former... Milk recovers, and then goes for the mayoral office, I think. With having already taken a bullet for the cause...
  6. WI: John Lennon Doesn't Meet Yoko

    That's Apple Records... has about as much to do with Apple Computers as the gay pride flag has to do with Apple's (computers) logo. :o
  7. what if Germany succeeded in developing an A-bomb

    This would be an ASB situation. Einstien left Europe precisely because of the Nazis. So you have to change the whole ideaology of the NSDAP. Possibly an earlier POD of Hitler and the NSDAP blaming the Communists for all the world's (and Germany's ills) instead of the Jews; and coming to power...
  8. Music What ifs?

    Several people close to Freddie actually cautioned him about living in New York during the early 80's while Queen were a bit of a hiatus. They knew about his promiscuity and talk was everywhere about this strange and deadly new disease affecting gay men, mostly in NYC and SFO. He went anyway and...
  9. Alternate Names for Modern Countries

    Calling the Saxon areas of Germany "Sexland" would certainly be a boon to tourism!
  10. Hitler or High-ranking Nazis Flee to Switzerland

    Nazis flee to CH The Swiss will do anything for money. I remember a joke from one of the late night talk shows, right after Steven Spielberg had made Schindler's List. The host (can't remember if it was Letterman or "that other one") said something like, "Spielberg is now second only to Swiss...
  11. Plausibility check: Poland in the Axis

    Poland in Axis ...is not very likely unless you remove the big m.o. from Nazism - racial superiority. There's a scenario in 3rd Reich Victorious called, "The Little Admiral" that I really like. In it Hitler joins the Kriegsmarine in WWI on the urging of Raeder. Raeder helps him overcome his...
  12. AH Challenge: Cold War flip- Israel as a Soviet ally/client, Arab states pro-West

    I doubt you could get the Soviet Union to support Israel, they might be argued as the second most Anti-Semitic society of the 20th century. After all, in the 70's they allowed the Jews who could afford to to get the heck out. Though, I suppose, if you were to make some pre-war changes to...
  13. Summerise Germany in 1918

    "summerize" I was wondering where you were going with that too... Seriously, folks, there's a huge ammount of grammar and spelling errors on this site. If corrected, it would improve scenarios and timelines so much. Just saying...
  14. 1940: Denmark fought to the bitter end

    re: "tyske piger" tyske piger (German girls) ?? or are you trying to say German pigs? That would be "tyske grise" ...and let's also not forget that many Jews were saved by the Danes by smuggling them to Sweden. Along with King Christian publicly wearing the Star of David and riding unguarded...
  15. Which AH novel would you like to see a movie made of?

    I think a movie version of Worldwar would be great. Though we'd have to make the race a little less like the critters from V (the first and only V, IMHO). But imagine how cool it would be to see the ships coming down in the middle of a battle in Russia, or to see Auschwitz "liberated" by aliens...
