Really? I thought I was the only one who felt this way. The last time I brought this up somewhere (I used the ending of Brazil rather than Jacob's Ladder, but same idea), no one seemed to agree with me.

My theory was that the bit in the epilogue where their helmets shattered while out in space was what really happened, and most of the rest of the game was a dream their brains were experiencing while being asphyxiated. It's the only way to make that game's plot make sense.

Also according to Wikipedia, President Grover Cleveland opposed the overthrow of Liliuokalani and actually tried to reverse it. Unfortunately, nothing came of it. I guess Cleveland was no Wiki Wormhole Favorite Rutherford B. Hayes.

"While Jaws is considered a masterpiece, its sequel, Jaws: The Revenge, is considered one of the worst movies of all time."

Don't worry, we'll be rid of the electoral college soon. Also: we'll soon be rid of the United States of America. And Earth's non-cockroach population.

My personal favorite are the historical ones, so I'm excited for next week's continuation of the Spoils System Saga.

This isn't really what's going on here, though, is it? The OP isn't claiming Shakespeare didn't write Shakespeare's plays, just that he may have had a co-author on the Henry VI trilogy, which incidentally was one of his earliest works. That's much more plausible, isn't it?

Vivaldi's a really weird fit for Star Wars, though (the BGM in this sounds pretty much like the opening of L'estro Armonico no. 2 with some minor changes made to it).

I can't tell whether you're saying that no one wrote music that sounded like Williams before SW, or whether everybody did, just not recently at the time SW came out. If it's the former, I disagree pretty heavily; listen to The Planets by Holst and it's basically Williams' style in a nutshell.

So that's why the article mentioned Dmitrij: someone actually just put on a performance of it a couple weeks ago. And I just found about it now. Whyyyyyyy

Or… the theory of heliocentricity (Copernicus) or the discovery of radioactivity (Curie) or the modern piano technique (Chopin)?

Someone should just retrofit Willis with a taller antenna and put that to rest.

Well, let's not Rus to conclusions.

Well, I disagree with her. Turkey is awesome, and it (and its predecessor, the Ottoman Empire) contributed a massive amount of stuff to science, technology, music, and our culture in general. Istanbul is one of the great cities of the world that I really hope to be able to visit someday, and I really hope the yahoos…

It's the same thing with music (concert music, anyway). The "father of Russian music", and the guy whose work the subsequent Russian composers based their style upon, was Mikhail Glinka. There were of course composers in Russia before Glinka, but they received almost no support—the royalty at the time were under the…

Yeah, that show had the best premise ever, but really lousy execution.

Okay, the eastern half of Christian Europe. It's still significant.

Oh man, and that's the worst too, because they put those feather things on their nukes so you can hear the damn things whistling as they're coming towards you.

Aw, and it's not a DVD either. :-( So this truly is obscure and I'm not just an idiot for not having known about it. Oh well, at least there's a CD.

In Russia, "Bob" probably looks like a really weird name.
