Now that the papacy has been reclaimed, Sergius (and by extension Octavian) have so many options for revenge. A cadaver synod for Otto's puppet pope? A posthumous excommunication for Otto himself? Or maybe just excommunicate Otto's co-emperor and crown one of his rivals king of germany. So many...

Just out of curiousity, with TTL's high turnover rate for presidents, has anyone beaten William Harrison's 31 day record for shortest presidency yet?

In old English, subject and object where distinguished by suffixes instead of word order as in modern English. "The man rode the horse" and "The horse rode the man" could potentially mean the same thing, where as "the man rode the horse" could mean two different things, depending on which noun...

So tweek it a bit. For example give the language a strong male/female dichotomy like most Romance languages today. You know how French has a masculine "le" and a feminine "la"? It's not impossible to conceive of an alternate English with a masculine "the" and a feminine "tha".

Who exactly where the White Huns? Where they an offshoot of the Huns who attacked the late Roman Empire?

Take those words in English with a Germanic root, and replace them with a word with a Latin root, and vice versa. Now you have an entirely different language from the same basic building blocks.

I really hope that Otto losses the coming confrontation.

That dowry is certainly going to be a huge help to the Italian finances, considering the treasury left Italy. And could a Pope Liutprand be in the cards sometime down the road? He's already a rapidly rising star in both secular and church politics, so it's not inconceivable he might become a...

well thank fuck for that! i was worried it'd all be boring church reformy junk! and where's the fun in that? give me a five year old pope who's a royal and/or papal bastard born of incest and digs up seven or eight former popes to put on trial, and I'm a happy guy! screw church reform!

So a pornocracy that results in a unified Italian Empire, under the rule of a permanent pornocratic dynasty? AWESOME! :D That being said, this timeline needs more of the following: 1. More papal mistresses, because you just can't have a pornocracy without them! 2. More royal bastards, because...

Federal Union of American Colonies?

*Ahem* Drakaverse. That is all.

Just out of curiousity, has anyone ever done a Pujie Manchukou timeline?

And a quick wikipedia search reveals he had a sweet afro (seriously what is that thing on his head?)

Would his brothers be as easily manipulated though?

If Puyi was assassinated, or otherwise died, who would the Japanese put in charge of Manchukou?

Not to mention How terrifying Spanish Elephants where to the Aztecs and Incas. Speaking of which, how would the ecosystems of south and central america be different without feral elephant populations? I remember reading somewhere that the "elephant highways" of tree free paths through the amazon...

What about the Feral populations of elephants? How would the ecosystem of the Americas be different without them?

Well, without the creation of a cute breed of dwarf elephants, it might very well end up being "my little pony" or "my little donkey" or something. I doubt that the original massive sized elephant breeds would be cute enough for a kids show.

As we all know, Elephants went extinct in Europe and the Americas durring the ice age, however Domesticated elephants where reintroduced to Southern Europe by Hannibal, and later used extensively by the Romans. Later the Spainish reintroduced both Horses and Elephants to the Americas. What if...
