Little Contest/Memory Game

[WackityWhiz]

How many years back can you recall a national/worldwide event or something that happened to someone on a national/worldwide level.

For example, your post would look like this:

2005 - .....
2004 - .....
2003 - .....

and so on. If you couldn't think of anything for 2002, then you have to stop. I don't think I could make it very far, how far can you make it? And no cheating... anyone could just look up stuff that happened but there's no fun in that. And try not to peak at responses, post yours and then browse.

Look forward to seeing some responses.
