I was born in my birth year - everything else pales by comparison and is thus redundant


Seriously, that's a cool site

Interesting.

One glaring omission though. There was NO mention of the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy (JFK) on 22nd November of that year. I was 4 days old at the time. Neither was there any mention of the Great Train Robbery (Ronnie Biggs et al).

Just checked for that of my wife, 1965. No mention of the death of Sir Winston Churchill, and no mention also of the death of Arthur Stanley Jefferson (better known as Stan Laurel, of Laurel and Hardy fame).

Lot of cool stuff, great site!

Well apparently the Colossus Computer was invented to break German encryptment, White Christmas by Bing Crosby topped the US charts and Jacques Yves Cousteau with Emile Gognan invented the Aqua-lung.

Books were still read using paper and the popular one at the time was The Robe by Lloyd C Douglas.

This was the year of my birth, of course we were in the middle of the 2nd World war as well.

1937 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Nothing seemed to have happened on my birthday though (Oct.2). Looks like I was enough, but they don't mention it. BIG omission. :sarc:

I was born and they got scared and ended World War 2.

I was born and they got scares and ended World War 2.

Yep, I guess they did.

Meanwhile, more events from our birth years:

Me: 1963 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My wife: 1965 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cool site...

I wonder if anyone on SF is responsible for it because this forum was mentioned along with google and yahoo as not existing yet...

It keeps going doesn't it.

I just tried it in yahoo and it mentioned that instead of SF. Yes it does keep going.

In 1947, the world was a different place.
There was no Google yet. Or Yahoo. Or Sevenforums, for that matter.

Mikhail Kalashnikov designs the AK-47 assault rifle.

In 1946, my mother celebrated the first anniversary of freedom from WWII.
I celebrated the second anniversary when i was 3 month's old.
