Link in OP is crap.
Why not just wiki and choose for oneself what is interesting or important? One doesn't have to wait for ridiculously slow scrolling words or listen to someone think they're being profound and original...

Is it really Fichell?,the link works fine and i never said it was mostly not stuff you you could find elsewhere and pay for.
read carefully i said i found stuff that never turned up on paid versions of the same type of info.
AH would be great if nobody started a thread about anything wouldn't it?

Why not just wiki and choose for oneself what is interesting or important?

Since you have so much faith in Wiki why not do all your surfing on it?

One doesn't have to wait for ridiculously slow scrolling words or listen to someone think they're being profound and original..

You are right you only have to open a second tab and continue having a go at others on boards whilst your full results build up to completion on the first one,but you knew that didn't you.right?

Da Shins Kelly

A lot of stuff to do with The Silence of the Lambs.

3hn2givr7mx1sc

1994 Forrest Gump cleaned up at the Oscars and Tekken was the game of choice at the time. Class.

Wereghost

Queen was formed.

The world's first microprocessor (the Intel 4004) was announced in November.

Adyx

I didn't look at the op's link but I'd say the biggest thing was John Lennon dying. (31 years next Thursday :eek: ). I was born the very next day.






Edit: Yes, this is just a thinly veiled attempt at hinting it's my birthday next week.
