Alternate Historian's Note: When you start having hallucinations during your waking hours because your amount of REM sleep is pretty much non-existent, I'd say it's time to skip a post and get a little more sleep in the morning. I'll let my esteemed Guest Historian take the whole post today. And, hey, c'mon people! In just 4 days, we'll hit TIAH's third anniversary. As before, that calls for a contest! Please send in your alternate versions of the Academy's beginnings (May 27th, 2004 was the date in this timeline). You can even use the fact that we lost the original day and had to restart on the 28th – whatever you can think of to provide a twist to our start. Send 'em in, and we'll print 'em! Be sure to tell us how you want your credit for the post to appear, as well as any links you want to be connected with your entry. Thanks for reading and get researching those alternate timelines! And, just as an addendum – if we don't get any entries, we're going to consider printing some of our more interesting emails...

They re-entered the dusty old wardrobe to summon Aslan, the true ruler of Narnia. Having defeated the witch Jardis to free Narnia from her icy spell, they needed Aslan to reciprocate. Big time.

Coleridge	In 1947, Senator McCarthy set out his discovery in plain speak. Guderian permitted the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) to escape, in exchange for a small and ancient bottle which remained behind the evacuated BEF containing Montgomery's glamour. And the greatest secret of all. The former owner of the vial was Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

In 1989, there was a group of men whose direct action would shortly bring to an end the three hundred and eighty-seven years of Stuart Rule in Great Britain.
