h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Anyone want to ask her? I don't really know her

Funny you should say that, Jodan. Things are getting convoluted... http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F55377?thread=323574&skip=0&show=20#p4163906 You seem to have a Tango fixation in common, anyhow... (and what's this with missing off above. Now that really IS disconcerting...) Pin

Next page of that thread and about an hour ago, I told her about you and gave her the A1310149 link. So something should happen soonish.

I only sign with on longish posts That always frightens people

I did a search to see if a club existed, but I searched for History, Historian and Historical.

I never noticed your short-post sheeplessness
*sheepish*
Anyhow, you cased it? The original is at A240058. Creator last posted June 2002. Also, it looks more than a bit catch-all (eg Pokemon as history doesn't exactly fit the conventional view of the discipline)

That's why I didn't refrain from doing it

You haven't? Happens all the time!

Ah an idea for a time line, lets see (first draft):

Now - Then - Back then - Old stuff - The Renaissance - Classical history - Recorded history - Ancient history - Really ancient history - Pre history - The beginning.

Also, I didn’t know Hitler liked painting. Did he paint anything good?

An idea, how about explorers who weren’t named what we call them today. Example John Cabbott, Juan De Fuca, etc.

(bad pun alert) We could have the ‘Weather Report’ you know a room where we brain ‘storm’

Another thing, what about the history of an item, for example, the computer. Does that count?

Does Mythology count as history? Ancient Greek mythology?

Ebert – full of questions, full of answers, or maybe just full of it.

I didn't know ya'll thought so highly of me...

Jodan, I stumbled across Mustapha's page whilst looking for something else, and was talking to shazz about putting a note in the post, and thinking about asking the italics to switch ownership, etc.

But then Pin invited me over hear, so here I am...sign me up!

Oh, and my specialties are medieval history, heresy, church history through the Reformation, and Colonial American history. I can also do the following, but not as well: 20th century Middle Eastern nationalism, Italian and German early modern history, and 18th century British history.

Man, that's a lot, isn't it?

I was going to ask to join but M R's list made me feel rather inadequate. However, I can claim some knowledge of the Enlightenment, British 19th century social history and some areas of modern European history. Does this mean I have to get all my books down from the loft??

Chris

MR - I'll put the first few next to your name so the list doesn't get too crowded Chris, you're in!

Computer? Yes that counts as history. It's amazing the broad scope of things that history covers- if you're willing to be pedantic

I'll work up something later today

Ebert, you might like to take a look at this http://www.fpp.co.uk/Hitler/artist/Price/WashingtonPost210402a.html
it is a site that talks about Hitler's paintings.

Joden put me down for;
Naval History
19th Century US
American Civil War

Hmm. Better than I could do
Done, FS

Pre-Columbian North and Central America
Spanish Conquest

H

Well if it wasn't for Adolf (Schickelgruber) Hitler's art teacher telling him he was useless because he couldn't draw people, the world might be a slightly different place....

My specialities Dark ages, medeival, political history, royal history down the ages for Europe, church history.

Historical Specialties: That’s hard. I’m a generalist. I like to know why and how things are connected to each other and what it means for people today. So what would that fall under? Applied History?

I suppose I know the most about Cultural History, specifically but not limited to the First Nations in the western side of the Americas (North and South continents not just the USA). But I can learn about almost anything and help write about that. I am staring my education in Anthropology this January. (I'm very excited) Perhaps that will help?

FloridaSailor – thanks for the link. Wow. These are really good paintings. How did we go from painter to the symbol of everything our culture stands against? Is our culture partly to blame, we seem to like having a figure head to hate instead of the general idea behind the 'eval' actions of another culture. (take recent events for an example. the government seems very focused on captureing a few people instead of applying a solution to the entire problem.)

Ebert

Added Ebert, H and DD's specialist topics I put you (Ebert) down as a Generalist, but I'm happy to adjust that

This makes an interesting discussion - Hitler and his art... By the way, feel free to start discussion topics under the society page

I was going to say something about adding other threads, but then I thought that "New Historians and Business Thread" could cover almost anything we want it too. A single thread with all the topical conversations that are sure to come might challenge "No, no no" in time. It is your page make the call.
