Sad to hear that man. I don't think anyone will forget 6/1. Always remember! Here's a profile from probably the most infamous man in U.S. history, former President J. Edgar Hoover EDIT: I saw too late that it said 1968-1972, when I meant 1969. Sorry 'bout that!

I know I may be trollin' now, but a second and last post for tonight. This one is from a dastardly terrorist group that was seemingly invincible. Thank God they broke up before killing us all!

Yes, I know this may be unlikely. Yes, I know I didn't put the total vote or the states carried. I just did this quick and easy for fun. Don't mock me.

This sounds awesome if only to have a team near me in Birmingham! Anyways, I would also like to request a greater influence/respect for poets. I am one myself (not a great one) and would like to see some more attention paid to them. Maybe not on the level of say Steven King, but maybe more...

I have another sports suggestion - a college football playoff. Not one that comes about recently, it would have to happen much earlier in history in order to avoid all the sponsoring/money issues we have today. I would say in the aftermath of the lopsided 1902 Rose Bowl (the first one) and/or...

I would like to see baseball keep the level of cultural interest it had in the 50s/60s through today. The World Series is hardly watched compared to the Super Bowl or NBA Championship; an increased interest would likely result from a shorter schedule, no expansion in the 90s, contraction in the...

Titanic 2 and the ET trailer were made by the same guy. Here's some from me: Garfield the Movie - Bio-pic about legendary president and later Nobel Prize winner James Garfield The Dark Knight - Classic medieval story involving the travails of the legendary dark knight in search of...

This is a for fun thread to see what plausible changes would need to take place for say a rule change, a dominant power, a new league, etc. to take place regarding college or pro football (By the way, tell me if I've posted in the right place). The way I want this to work is one poster asks a...

1984 by Gabriel Kolko: A detailed account of the 1984 U.S. election, in which the socialist Ronald Reagan won a second term. The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka: A political treatise on the topic of socialism, which Kafka advances would have prevented the Great War. Widely ignored at the time, but...

that all sounds good, except I already did Belize. it's Honduras in TTL, referring to back when the whole area was British Honduras.
