MOVED: CNN - "Did we do that?!"

All the other animals died in hours breathing that air. It caused the lungs to liquefy. Humans lived in homes that had poor insulation and they had to cover up with wet towels and many died. Thats black cloud moved at 60 MPH and just made the day into night. The jackrabbits were able to survive on very dry conditions, while all the natural predators died off, creating a huge population rise. Entire counties were covered in jackrabbits running around. Its on the History Channel and its a must see. I could not believe how bad it was back then.

The locusts arrived because all the animals that ate them also died ( birds etc…) SO it was the same for other bugs like Centipedes and spiders… just showed up 10 fold and stung children and old people to death.

They said it covered the eastern half of USA is 1/4 inch dust, plus the Atlantic on the worst day called “black Sunday”

Some scenes were rather odd

even if the mexicans didnt really contribute that much, due to PC, we need to have revisionist history to make the mexicans happy.

LOL! spot on but  its better to just leave it as American contribution and leave out the race BS. 85% of those who fought as US GI were Anglos anyway why even bother to mention the others? Vietnam was another story.

OK, the ad I just viewed when I looked in on this thread is for “Date 1” with a female in bed, and a caption of “browse over 1 million profiles”

That is too funny…

Last night I watched House on FOX with my wife and teenager.  DIAGNOSIS : Bubonic Plague

This morning I awaken to the news that a case of Bubonic plague has beeen diagnosed in CA!!

I heard on local radio that this is the second time since the show started that House pulled a “We called it immediately before it happened!” storyline.

I like this show as it has unlikeable characters…House, Wilson, Cutty …

Last nights eppisode also covered different moral outlooks in medical and personal beliefs.
Bravo! Brava!

Last night I mentioned to my wife that House doesn’t have as much of the characters’ social lives as a lot of the other “Medical Center” shows.

Now that was a flashback!  I haven’t thought of that show in 30+ years.

I say we come up with a set of rules and restart this topic (Its a fun topic).

For Example:

German Airforce still intact?
German Navy and Uboats still intact?
Egypt Conquered?
What about Japan?

@dabaron:

The term “Palestine” was invented by the Romans as a means to dishonor the Jews, because they hated them. They wanted to file the Jews and the Arabs together in a land called “Palestine” instead of Israel. So really, the “Palestinians” are just Jordanian Arabs that have lived in the region since the great dispersion and, in my opinion, have no rightful claim to the land whatsoever. Now let’s get back to the topic, unusual stuff.

You’re quite right, dabaron. “Palestine” was what Emperor Hadrian named Judea (omdern day Israel) after the second revlot against Rome in 135 CE. It came from the extinct nation of the Philistines. Hadrian hoepd that by naming Judea and all its cities after extinct nations, he could eventually make the Jews extinct. He failed.
