Another XKCD classic. I think my favorite is Columbia landing directly on the USS Hornet and crushing Nixon, and President Agnew giving the speech. Which sets up the alternate history of no Watergate BUT a real possibility of a impeachment due to Agnew's corruption...

Okay, I'm thinking this one through too much. :D
