What was going on when the stork dropped ya'???

Hi y'all! Hugs, kisses, yada yada yada...

This comes through the computer letter box from Pea Green. Heh! The mail carriers aren't walking the neighborhoods today, but electronic computer letters just keep coming.

This is really pretty cool. If you want to know the big news in the year you were born, just click on that year. It won't take some of y'all nearly as long to find your year on the list as others.

Or, maybe you want to know the big news of any other year.

It starts at 1900 (I'm assuming AD), so I doubt any of y'all would click on that one. (I mean, you're probably in a nursing home at 110, and don't do computer junk. Just sayin'.)

Pretty interesting. The year I was born, Hawaii and Alaska became US States. I already knew that...bad decision about Hawaii...if you know what I mean. confusd But Alaska (hubba hubba!)

There is some other interesting junk that happened in 1959. Old Blue Eyes won his first Grammy (really!), the EXTREMELY hot Mississippi gal, Mary Ann Mobley became Miss America, and Syracuse won the Collegiate Football Championship.

Yep. Syracuse. Of course, we football fans know "why."

So, I thought y'all might enjoy this...and "Thanks, Pea Green!"

  1. These lil bits gave me pause:

    US GDP ('98 dollars): $223.2 billion
    Federal spending: $92.71 billion
    Federal debt: $260.1 billion
    Dow Jones High/Low: 195/155
    Consumer Price Index: 18
    Unemployment: 1.9%
    Cost of a first-class stamp: $0.03


    OK... I'm older than most dirt. Yet still, The One's "stimulus" was nearly TWICE our GDP when I was born. And I don't even wanna talk about the Federal debt. Mebbe I've lived too long.

  2. Sheesh. I am NOT a math major. The stimulus was over three times our GDP in '45.

  3. Yeah Buck, some of this stuff is interesting to view.

    I forgot to mention that Fidel assumed powah in Cuber in my birth year (which I also already knew)...and:

    US GDP: $507.2 billion
    Federal spending: $92.10 billion
    Federal debt: $287.5 billion

    GDP: Twice the stimulus!

    Federal spending: Bwahahahaha! Can you imagine the whole shebang at the cost of the Stinkulus?

    Debt: Won't go there. Sigh.

    And I forgot to mention that Montreal defeated Toronto in the Stanley Cup 4 games to 1...

  4. USC won a Natl Championship in my year, and Moon River was the grammy winner. Moon River = Good, USC = Bad. Heh! Fun!

    ReplyDelete
  5. Aaaaahhhh....Moon River, wider than a mile.

    USC...Sucks!

  6. You guys are making me feel OLD. I saw Breakfast at Tiffany's (from whence "Moon River" came) as a first run movie.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Hey Dude, Breakfast at Tiffany's is one of my all-time favorites. But, when I saw it first, I'm pretty sure it was out of the theaters.

    And..."Old" is as old does! Okay, maybe not... ;)

Don't cuss nobody out, okay?
