Right, so now all 'we' have to do is look at this list, and with our knowledge of today's events from 2nd November 2009, see if there are any similarities
I will update this thread every day. any major similarities can be discussed or cross referenced with the time-wave or with Evasius, if he'll help!
Let me know if you think it's a good idea, or if you see any matches with events through history.
Remember I'll update this daily so be sure to check it!
I may not know of something in the news that matches.
Also, when going over the events past, it may be possible to see links between past events on the same day, not just with today's day! If that makes sense?!
Peace, Kiwifoot
