  1. Second American Civil War

    Really? Where can I find this comic?
  2. Second American Civil War

    Man I loved that show. I can't believe the Sci Fi channel or someone else didn't pick up and run with the 2nd Civil War thing going on. My predicted outcome: Texas, convniced of the culpability of the Halliburton-clone and ASA government in the nuclear attacks, sides with the reconstituted...
  3. Iron Sky teaser

    Oh My God :eek: That's the most awesome thing I've seen in months. Is this going to be a real movie?
  4. Alternate US Strategies in Viet Nam.

    Probably the best plan. Didn't Ho try to get US recognition after the Great European Mistake part 2? And we told him to take a hike?
  5. WI the United States invented the first assault rifle?

    Let the US develop a parachute doctrine early. A lightweight rifle that allows an airborne infantryman carry increased ammunition and is expected to fight disrupted and spread over an area for days at a time would lend itself to being necessary. Smoke jumpers, the original trainers of the US...
  6. Alternate Attacks on Pearl Harbor

    I don't remember exactly where I read it, but this was one funny scenario. Pearl Harbor was an attack on the US by British warplanes painted up to look Japanese. The Brits figured that the only way to get the US involved in WW2 was to trick it into thinking the Japanese attacked. Thus the...
  7. The House of Rothschild as the Israeli monarchy?

    Conspiracy theorist's heads explode. Dan Brown writes another book about symbology and the secret Zionist cabal and its links to the Israeli Royal Family.
  8. DBWI: Harshest Treaty of Vienna Possible

    Well, they did allow France to maintain its own government. I could see them insisting on sweeping out the old government and instituting a new republic, perhaps with something like a governor general with veto power for a set period of years.
  9. Fragment, by Warren Fahy

    Lost a whole day to this book. An island inhabited by Cthulu's worst nightmares crossed with biological imperatives. Things that evolved from the earliest life on Earth, with a biology alien to our own, share our world. The US Navy, NASA, and cast members of a reality TV show are devoured in...
  10. 2012 Movie

    Watched it recently. High entertainment value, low education value, extremely high special effects, medium story telling. As I understand it, the 'big deal' was lithospheric shifting of the Earth. The surface rotated free of the core. Interesting idea, that. Would explain why the mastadons...
  11. Why are there no two-legged predators?

    Was at dinosaur museum with son and got to thinking. Dinosaurs like T-Rex and Allyosaurus and Velociraptor were all two legged. Fast, binocular vision, viscious. How come mammels haven't developed a similar phenotype? Why are all mammelian predators four legged pouncers? I'm not including...
  12. Need help finding a book

    It was a series from the 1980s I think. Set in space, but was basically a retelling of WW2. Japanese empire in space with samaris against a United States (planets had names like New Wyoming and New Washington, etc). Travel was via warp gates that were propegated by slower than light Von...
  13. WI "The final countdown" happened?

    I think the point was that, since he already has their (alternates) music, that they wouldnt come back at a later date and sue him. Whether they go on to music careers themselves or not would be irrelevant. What they got was money in exchange for acknowledging he held the sole rights to the...
