People are using pre-made comics called "Rage Comics" to share funny and relatable experiences. A wave of demonstrations and protests have been taking place across the Middle East, in what has become known as the "Arab Spring".

It's 2011, so the music charts are being dominated by artists such as Adele, Maroon 5, LMFAO, Katy Perry, Rihanna and Bruno Mars. Charlie Sheen is causing a lot of controversy. The actor, who was recently fired from the TV show "Two and a Half Men", has been attacking his former employers and making strange comments about how he is a "warlock" who has "tiger blood".

A civil war is raging on in Libya. Large battles are taking place between Colonel Gaddafi's government forces and Libyan rebels. Although forces loyal to Gaddafi were recently on the brink of victory, the implementation of a "No Fly Zone" and the intervention of NATO is beginning to turn the tide in the rebel's favor. Tributes are pouring in for actress Elizabeth Taylor, who recently passed away at the age of 79. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Randy Savage, Margo Dydek, Ryan Dunn, and Peter Falk would all still be alive.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Smallville", "CSI: Miami", "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition", and "RuPaul's Drag Race". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty", "Call of Duty: Black Ops", "Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood", and "Crysis 2".
