Cuckles8 lost his sense of humour ( c'mon friend, the croc hunter..hone your sense of irony ) I
I will concentrate on what you *need* to know:
In no particular order:
Ok...here's what you need to know...
The US and the British Prime Minister over reacted to a series of admittedly horrific terrorist attacks..swatted the terrorists associates like flies...burned some babies in Bagdad..watch this space... ( Don't try taking drinks, liquids or box cutters in your hand luggage on planes. )
Diana died ( not globally significant, I know, but you need to know in a kind of Who Shot JR way )
They made a movie about the sinking of the Titanic that looked like the real thing ( you need to know this in case you ever go on a ship with your squeeze ... you will be expected to make out at the bow )
Kate Bush released 2 albums ( They arer brilliant but no need to rush..it will probably take 16 years for the next one )
The people who made Apple Mac computers got their act together and invented a really cool walkman thing ( please throw out your Sony Walkman... bag ladies will laugh at you on the streets.. your tapes an CD are obsolete, too. You can get all your favorite 80's records online, though )
They bannned smoking in lots of public places ( ask first before you light up..though you may have kicked the habit in the last 16 years )
Everyone bought themselves a pc and installed software from ONE single company ( Go buy a book on MS Office - after 16 years in a coma you are as handicapped as if you woke up with no arms if you are not able to use Office )
Everybody threw their money into crazy internet businesses and most people lost a load. The immediate benificiary of this was was India which now rules the software development and business processing industry. This has paved the way in dramatic globalisation of industry. ( When you call your bank you will probably be answered by someone in India. Be nice to them. They are more polite and better educated than we are and they are helping keep the interest rates down )
Prince changed his name ( you do not need to know what he changed it to.. he also stopped making good records )
Those huge cell phones that looked like a brick with an antenna got really, really, small and cheap ( You need to get one ..do not worry you will not look like a jerk..unless you insist on telling people your precise location when they call - " Hi - I'm am on the bus !! ". People stopped doing that in 1996)
Hope this helps
oh...and Madonna married an English guy and moved to London ( if you were one of the few remaining people she had not slept with, you have missed your chance, sorry )

BIll Clinton and AlGore are unemployed.
Al is living off of his fortune from inventing the internet. Bill on the other hand is staying at home baking cookies while Hillary continues to promote the National Health Care Plan that she implemented.
