  1. -S-L-I-D-E-R-S-

    What if you found a portal to a parallel universe? And what if you can't find your way home? coming to FOX Thursdays in 2009 -S-L-I-D-E-R-S- Madeline Blue as Logan St. Claire Malcolm David Kelley as Wade Wells Alfonso Ribeiro as Rembrandt Brown Sabrina Lloyd as Dr. Maxine Arturo George Newbern...

  2. Nixon, Our Greatest President

    Here's a stunning little historical flashback that I was not aware of: Nixon not only introduced, but almost passed, a national universal health care bill. So in light of that, I propose one little tweak to OTL history: It's the summer of 1972. Richard Nixon looks like a shoo-in to win...

  3. The First 100 Days of John McCain (FBWI)

    Excellent article by John Shapiro of Politics Daily. Shapiro does a great job of putting all of the major events of the early McCain administration into context. Which leads me to ask everyone at AH.com, how do you feel about how McCain and the Democratic Congress have governed? Where do you...

  4. The Ljubljana Gap Strategy

    Maybe it's too much to hope for two excellent Slovenia threads in a row, but I wanted to return to a classic WWII POD: The Ljubljana Gap Strategy. For those not familiar, there was a significant debate among the Allied Command as to how the Invasion of Italy would end. The plan was to turn right...

  5. Help: OTL 1948 aviation/naval bases

    Hi, I could use some expertise for a very particular scenario. It is OTL 1948. What are the most likely naval bases where the wife of a US Naval officer could be living? And how long would it take to get from that base to New York City via airplane? Thanks!

  6. One for all the Southerners out there

    What's the most likely way to have Alpharetta,_GA become the business capital of the South instead of Atlanta? Any POD after the end of the Civil War will do; it doesn't have to be after 1900.

  7. Casting Call for ISOT!

    After I stumbled across this thread, I started to speculate about who would make a good cast for a film version of the first ISOT novel… Capt. Alston: Halle Berry Chief Cofflin: James Spader Martha Cofflin: Mary McDonnell Swindapa: Keira Knightley Ian Arnstein: John Rhys-Davies Doreen...

  8. No Clinton? No 9-11?

    There's a neat little blog post at Washington Monthly: I, of course, took it from an AH perspective. Below are my suggested answers, and I'd like to hear all of yours. But first, the "rules" for the thread: 1. The POD is either no Bill Clinton or no 9-11. Doing both is too complex. And...

  9. What's the best blank world map?

    As some of you may know, we over at Collaborative Projects are desperately seeking maps for our 1493 project. So I thought I'd pose a prerequisite question: what's the best blank world map? The ideal map would be small enough to fit within AH.com's size requirements, but large enough to...

  10. map request -- Mexico 1800s

    Does anyone have a map of Mexico in the 1800s? I'm exploring the possibility of alternative boundary settlements after the Mexican-American war, and it would be most helpful to know what the internal boundaries of Mexico's states were.

  11. A Small Map Challenge

    Wouldn't this be a lovely nation? All plausible PODs and TL sketches welcome! (Here's a hint in case you don't know the difference between Aberlpymm and Plymouth)

  12. A wrinkle in the Guns, Germs, and Steel theory

    This article is a few months old, but I haven't seen it covered on this site, and it deserves a mention. From Discover magazine, it postulates that a native disease was actually the most destructive one that the Aztecs faced. This doesn't disprove Diamond's theory, mind you. It's just a...

  13. Saving the Native Americans -- the contagious disease problem

    It was inevitable that, at some point, contagious disease would spread to North America. As biologists and Jared Diamond readers know, in addition to the argonomic humilities that pre-Columbian North Americans suffered -- only Australia had fewer domesticable plants and animals -- they also had...

  14. Map request: African ethnic groups

    I am desperately seeking a map of Africa, broken down not by national borders but by ethnic or linguistic borders. I'd prefer it to be as close to OTL 2006 as possible. The best that I can find is this one at Wikipedia, but that only breaks it down into language groups, not individual...

  15. Color America by Numbers!

    Europe is old news. It's time to Color America by Numbers! That is, assuming that it's still called America by the time you're done coloring in the map....Enjoy!

  16. OTL.com

    For those who were fans of www.othertimelines.com/msgboard/, it is being dismantled. Another, similar, site will be going up soon; I'll post more information here when it's ready.

  17. Alternate America, 1600 AD

    The basic POD: the Norse are able to hold onto their American possessions due to a slightly improved climate in the 1000s-1100s. This has plenty of ripple effects, the most obvious being that the playing field in America is radically equalized, with more Western nations getting into the act...

  18. The Lake House

    I just saw a preview for The Lake House. From what I gathered, it's an upcoming romance film starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. Here's the interesting part: they both live in the same lakeside resort town, but two years apart. Does anyone know if the movie involves AH, or takes into...

  19. Constitutional Amendment to the Presidency

    Amendment ##: No person immediately related by Blood or Marraige to a sitting or former President of the United States shall be eligible for the office of President. Suppose this amendment is proposed in: *The Bill of Rights *The Reconstruction amendments *1959 *1998 What are its chances of...

  20. DBW: Why did Monotheism originate in Iroquois land?

    (In honor of the recent rash of monotheism threads, I've decided to do a double-blind why, where we have a discussion, but in the character of the alternative time line. Enjoy!) Over the first several millennia of human civilization, vaguely monotheistic thoughts popped up every once in a...
