    - ' took into their relationship' - sounds ominous -- nm - Epiphany Feb 29, 12:23 1
      - Yeah, it's as odd as it sounds and I don't know the full extent of that person's integration into the couple's relationship. -- nm - TWuG Feb 29, 12:28

- A. Whose to say nazism wouldn't have continued anyway. B. JFK turned out to be whacked out on speed but w/o Johnson we might not have civil rights or - zeitgeist Feb 29, 12:39

  - Maybe you could convince W to become a full time artist. -- nm - ty97 Feb 29, 12:04
- B is the only one that could save a life without altering history. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 29, 12:02 7
  - ummmm, it would totally alter history. -- nm - ty97 Feb 29, 12:03 6
    - Not if the world still thought he was dead. Like what happened with Elvis. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 29, 12:12 1
      - Speaking of movies to look forward to, Elvis And Nixon is out in less than two months! -- nm - Spawn Feb 29, 12:16

- a. -- nm - Diva Feb 29, 11:57

  - although if you kill Hitler in like 1922, maybe (b) and (c) don't even happen -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 29, 11:57 11
    - For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction -- nm - amoxy Feb 29, 12:25

    - I think about that movie a lot as I think I'll probably end up running off to the south of France with Anne Hathaway after she murders Tom Hardy -- nm - crash davis Feb 29, 11:45 3
      - I did think about how badly it obstructed the world from the enormous charms of Tom Hardy. -- nm - Diva Feb 29, 11:46 2
