A couple of things. First, this:

That's a really interesting idea, Stalker. But my own favorite idea along these lines is, what would happen if some archaeologist found the remains of Neanderthals somewhere in North America, in a context that made it clear that the bones had not been planted and were not just a pathological modern human. That's a story idea I've been playing around with for some time.

And, way back near the beginning of this thread, someone wondered what would have happened if Martin Luther had tacked up the 95 theses somewhere other than where he did. Specifically, it would be interesting to explore the idea of what might have happened if he had taken them to Rome and tacked them up on the doors to the Pope's apartments.
