Attempting a Bullet Point Timeline

loran_arameriI've wanted to write something based on Bullet Points ever since I read it. Sometimes I wonder why I never did and take my vague idea to the wiki, and then I remember: the Timelne Issue(TM).
The way it's written, the timeline of Bullet Points feels like it can be easily handwaved. Keep the order of events and character ages largely intact, and you'll be fine. This is a valid approach. The more sane one probably too.
However, it always felt to me as if the author (Straczynski) and the artist (Edwards) had a plan that maybe didn't have a year on every event but still an idea how the story interacts and coincides with the history of the 20th century.
So, I made an attempt at putting that into a graphic. (I may make another post about the details that let me to those conclusions, but for today I'm beat.)
Let me know if I missed anything obvious or if there is anything else of note. (I'm also always happy to talk about Bullet Points.)
