I highly suggest the 1632 series. (The publisher has made a number of the books available free starting here.)

A cosmic accident sends a circa-2000 Kentucky mining town back in time to 1632 Germany. They proceed to kick ass and build America a few hundred years early.

You know, it would almost be fun to do a series of fake New York Times editorial articles on this topic. (And you know they'd be the ones to do it, for better or worse.) Also, I'm not sure if the example of Japan was quite strong enough to represent what Heaven's been doing to us for thousands of ye...

Best analogy for why there is so much more enmity towards heaven than hell that I can think of is this: Imagine you're a schoolboy, (or schoolgirl, whatever applies.) and there are two other kids: The first is a mean bully who has beat you up for lunch money four days a week for as long as you can r...

So, based on Avatar, those bows and arrows should only work selectively based on whether that particular scene is dramatically trying to show the Na'vi helpless against the human war machine or triumphantly defeating the humans (as witnessed by one one scene the arrows bouncing uselessly off the co...

Another horrifying question: Can cancer kill second-lifers, or will it merely cause them to eventually become horrific sacks of tumorous growth? (Assuming the cancerous tissue isn't cut out...)

For some reason when I was reading about the initiation, it popped into my head as one of those zooming-ultra-slow-motion sequences, with the focus zooming around at a thousandth the actual speed, detailing each piece of the warhead before zooming out to show the Legion of Light being consumed by nu...

I don't think they'll actually nuke the Eternal City, as it would lead to much undue loss of life, among "civilian" angels and second-life humans alike- probably more than humanity is willing to accept, especially considering that Michael, Lemuel and Maion are proof that some angels are wi...

"We've been snookered, Sir."

MOTHERF&^%ER!

Just when I thought we'd finally get to see our glorious thunder run, that smug bastard outmaneuvers us again.

Always seemed to me that a sword would infer that they do fighting, while DiMON seems to be more the R&D/Transportation arm. Maybe something like a circle, where one half is Earth and the other Half is hell, and between the two is a stylized portal?

No. I am not a moderator, but advocating board invasions isn't really a good idea here. Not sure I'd really call that a board invasion, all things considering. More of a cross-pollination of political viewpoints across boards with a common interest in an author. Then again, I've always had a knack ...

So, if I'm to read between the lines... All of us progressives over here should go sign up on the much more conservative TBO forums, in order to dramatically shift the political spectrum towards blue? I actually did a similar thing in highschool with the Republican Club. Managed to triple the member...

Well, as someone who came here from TVTropes, I rather like the place. It's nice mainly because of the lack of notability rules. It's more useful for entertainment and finding obscure crap that you've not heard about in years than actual information. If I just wanted facts I'd use That Other Wiki . ...

Hm. I always thought that one visualized four-dimensional objects in the third dimension sort of how you view a MRI Scan of a three-dimensional human body on a two-dimensional screen. You see little slices of it in sequence as it sort of floats through our perception, like this: http://www.youtube.c...

Well, getting back to the court, I think I'm going to err on the side of caution and say that the judge should throw out the confession, since the ramifications of letting that take hold are the definition of legal squick. However, even if little Miss Benedict Arnold were to be acquitted, her useful...

I remember reading somewhere that the Japanese were training their women and schoolchildren to attack American soldiers with bamboo spears. If we had actually invaded instead of just dropping the bombs, not only would it have cost us dearly in men and material, but we would've had to essentially raz...
