History of Things That Never Were
Every time I think I have too much free time, I run across a site like this which puts things more in perspective. I'm a big fan of history and minutia, but I must admit this is a bit much for me. This site has detailed histories and timelines of 352 fictional events, such as TV series, movies, books, comics, and games. Interesting, yet somehow freightening. I think I'll stick to "real history", like you will find here where they have a
study of Advertising in America from 1850 through 1920.
