Note to Timmay. If you have to draw alt-hist maps, please make them look likt his, at least:
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Ridiculous with no basis in logic let alone geography and historical thought?

Nomads along the Eastern seaboard? Unless they're straight up stone age hunter gathers, hell no.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I mean the visual appeal compared to your maps.  :rolleyes:

I know, but I couldn't take a shot like that lying down.  :P

I don't have photoshop, the most advanced thing I got is paint.net

Let's be fair:  Your maps have no basis in logic, geography or history either.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

I don't know, maybe something to do with the camera angle?

Or something to do with photoshop....the peak and the beam on the right look "off".

And the whole photo made grainy to hide it better.

Yep, I think so.

The way the horizontal beam the kids are sitting on and the right beam join looks wrong; also the color of the right beam, and the light band on the top of it.

It could also be an optical illusion:

It doesn't seem impossible to me.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

She's so dreamy. :wub:
How was the show?

It was really good, although she had some weird light thing where lights would shine out into the audience. Spent a good few minutes blinded.  But pretty "badass" how she would sit forwards playing piano and reach behind her to play an electric organ without looking. :wub:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.
