I understand that it has something to do with typography on a typewriter, but I've never been given an answer as to why they were arranged in such a way.

Basically, what's the story behind wearing underpants? Bras would be interesting to know about too, but underpants is the main focus of the question.

When I was around twelve I moved to a much more diverse area of the US and I almost immediately noticed the strange names. When I asked my Dad he said it was because of a departure from white names during the civil rights movement. Is there anything more to it than that? For example: why is there such a prevalence of Qs?

^ Of course, I'm talking about this podcast. If you have listened to it, and are already well-versed in Roman history, could you comment on any inaccuracies you may have found? I don't mean to imply that Duncan is a modern day Suetonius, but I recall that in one of his episodes about Augustus, he stated that Augustus himself didn't follow his laws on adultery. A later remark from someone in the comments section stated that he (the commenter) had read a number of sources, but hadn't recalled something like that.
I finished listening to the entire podcast a couple of days ago, and it is definitely something that both enlightened and made me appreciate the more detailed aspects of history, but it also made me be on the lookout for any inaccuracy.

I was reading some comments on /r/HistoricalWhatIf and I had not really read much about any soviet invasion. Was the Soviet threat that important that it actually forced the surrender?
Here is the topic I was reading: http://www.reddit.com/r/HistoricalWhatIf/comments/25vy0f/what_if_japan_didnt_surrender_after_the_atomic/

I'm thinking of a lot of European cities, but some American cities (thinking rowhouses) and Asian cities (shophouses) as well.
Also, were the structures built by a single developer at one time, or by individual developers to match what was already there?

Was one side more optimistic about their situation? Did one side feel they drew the short end of the stick so to speak? To clarify, I'm focused on US troops specifically.

Things like what time it was customary to get up, meals, training, patrols, social life, etc.
I can't seem to find any details on the subject.

Like, was there actually a running man? Were there scenes that only a history buff would recognize?

The idea of comes up a lot in modern culture. The most famous example is probably "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." Where did it all begin?
*Edited question for clarity. I originally mentioned Robert Johnson selling his soul to the devil and didn't want the two separate concepts confused.

I am currently studying Roman history through Mike Duncan's "History of Rome" podcast. While it is absolutely enthralling the nature of the podcast is to be fluid and entertaining, not necessarily expose every single detail. After listening to each podcast I go on Wikipedia and try to read everything related to the episode, in order to be more knowledgable about it.
I am missing a lot of information, so I thought about printing some huge images(at Costco or something) and hanging them around, occasionally studying them. Stuff like timelines, maps, important Roman figures(and their images) etc. Does any of this exist? If so, I would greatly appreciate any information.
Thanks.
