But the similarities are striking.  For example, Hitler was obsessed with King Kong, which is essentially an animated monster movie... I see a strong parallel with Tim's love of anime.  Similarly, Tim is obsessed with Turtledove, and Hitler was obsessed with just-as-ludicrious alternate histories of the world such as the Aryan racial ancestor theories.  Finally, Tim has a bum leg, and Hitler had a bum ball.

I truly believe that if Hitler were resurrected and became a Languishite, he would end every post with  :w00t: and would post a glut of news articles that he found APOLEING.  :)

PDH wants a paper on that in two weeks.

I'll just do what his other students do - download some crap from the Internet.  :)

I felt like I was wasting my time looking up actual sources for an economics paper where there was Wiki just sitting there.

I'm not surprised he is offended by the Vegetarian slur

Study: Is Vegetarianism a Teen Eating Disorder?


But do remember, I'm pretty sure Timmay doesn't hate  :Joos
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Off to the camps with you. <_<

Of all the shit being slung at you, you find the most offensive is the insinuation you are not a vegitarian?

It is just so hard to say - certainly much harder than arguing for the Me-262 to be commissioned a year early.

True, true, but a nice WI nontheless  :cool:

BTW you have any idea if the Me-110 could have been made into a dedicated fighter-bomber? Say change the four MG17 and the two 20mm MG/FF in the nose for a pair of 37mm FlaK 36, the same that the Ju-87G carried and dump the rear gunner to save weight. Would it have been feasable? Would the airframe support it? And throw in a few hardpoints to carry bombs and later ATG rockets under the airframe if it would be possible.

The reason I'm asking (other then actually having a soft spot for the Me-110) is if it would be possible for the Germans to have a Mosquito type plane early in the war. The Me-110 actually had decent maxium speed (560 km/h, same as the Bf-109) what made it a bad fighter was from my understanding it's lack of maneuverability, it also had decent cruising speed (480km/h), and certainly much better then the Ju-87 maxiumum speed (402 km/h).

Don't know that much about the Bf-110, other than what you have noted, and the knowledge that it was always on the very of being replaced by the Me-210, which (somewhat like the He-280) was always "almost ready" but never actually ready.  I don't know that the -110 was a "Mosquito-like" aircraft, though, as it was slower than contemporary fighters and could not operate well at altitude.  It did have a very impressive total payload, though, of over 10,000 lb (fuel, ammo, and, potentially, bombs), and that was better than the Ju-88 (at a little over 9,000).
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Hitler is a fantastic dancer. Tim..well, we just don't know. I assume he isn't, being Hispanic.
