while I recon your refference to the excellent Pyton's "Life of Brian", I think you should definitely watch one of the Pyton's cast series, the Terry Jones' Barbarians to know what Romans did for the world.
"Cultural context" is your problem. Your idea of "military" and "terror" has some Roman_empire-medieval_knight-EuroAmerican background; I mean the idea of putting all your men on the field and combat the enemy legions.
I bet in some cultures what you call "terror" is totally acceptable as normal methods of fighting ones enemy.
The other factor is that in case of some terrorist terror is not a way of choice but the only way that could lead to their goal, as they can not compare their military potential to the potential of oppressor. How could IRA or ETA buy a squad of tanks or modern military aircraft?
It is not that I support IRA or ETA blowing up civilians; but I could imagine that is USA invaded my country (in "peace mission", "friendly aid" or whatsoever) many people would not hesitate to fight US troops in "terrorist" way - as unfortunately F18 is not in stock at every grocery. Perhaps some members of my national minority in USA would do "acts of terror" on American soil is such a case.
Asteroid impact theory does not apply to the other fluctuations in biodiversity, however, which follow an approximate 62 million-year cycle. This is not right, as asteroids impact is a result of Solar system going through Milky Way plate! Passing closer to other stars influences the Kuiper belt objects and due to gravitational changes some are distorted from their more or less circular / stationary orbits. Orbits might become more eliptical, which from out Earthly perspecitve seems as pack of comets jetisoned towards the centre of Solar system in short few hundred thousand years period.

Fortunately (I guess) there might be easy way to tell which procucts will be spying. These won't be available in Europe, I assume. Of course theere might be special version of given product for each market... but then, privacy-aware customers might order in EU on-line stores.

Google "truth" is relative; I quite often compared search results with friends on other networks and we got different numbers of results nearly every time. e.g. my search for "site:.su" returned 3,160,000 results.
If someone has problems with your metric "80 past 2 on April 47th", I provide English date format "3 piglets, 1/16 of stone and a horn after Matins, on 3 Sunday after Xmas"
