What Happened the Year You Were Born?
I’m not going to put the year, since it’s depressing. But hey, at least I’m not as old as SayUncle.
They forgot an important one. It was the same year that Hustler magazine was first published.
Bah, you’re both ‘lil whippersnappers. =)
You don’t have to mention what year it was for many of us, since we remember the events of *cough*1974*cough* quite well.
Sebastian, you and I are the same age!
…. old farts.
*runs and hides*
And Uncle is a young’un. Truman was President when I was born.
If you think this is depressing, check out the “kids entering college” list.
