Someone needs to introduce APu to Garry Kasparov. Then he'd know
that it is not necessary to extend that timeline past the
1850's, when the Romans still ruled North India from their
mammoth-tusk hut in Magnitogorsk.

Well I dunno, because I was inspired to do some research ( <
http://www.google.com/search?q=timeline+wars+europe > clever
searchingbombing eh?) and I found out from
http://www.historicaltimeline.com/ht_wars.htm that the Punix Wars, which
were in hardback, happened in May 2001 and the Greco-Persian wars
(admittedly only a paperback war this time) happened in October 1998. That's
like only about three years apart! What the hey happened there? Were the
ancient Greeks multiplying ten times faster than everyone else?
