Ready for a walk down memory lane?

The date is April 13th, 1992, and it's a Monday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Aries. The weekend has just passed, so some people are feeling a bit down. Others are tired after partying too much.

The summer of 1992 is drawing closer and temperatures have started to rise. In America, the song Save The Best For The Last by Vanessa Williams is at the top of the singles charts. Over in the UK, Deeply Dippy by Right Said Fred is the number-one hit song.

George W. Bush Snr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Sleepwalkers is at the top of the box office. John Major is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "Last of the Summer Wine", "Sherlock Holmes", "MacGyver", and "Dinosaurs".

Texting is not a thing yet. Instead, people are using landline phones and pagers. Furthermore, most people have never heard of the Internet. A civil war is taking place in the African country of Rwanda. It's 1992, so radio stations are being dominated by the likes of Kris Kross, Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Sir Mix-a-Lot, Right Said Fred, Snap! and Nirvana.

The trial of four police officers for the 1991 beating of Rodney King back is taking in Simi Valley, California. In fashion, many of the trends from the late 1980s are still in vogue. Colored tights, denim overalls, leotards, flannel shirts, and shoulder pads are all fashionable at the moment. Grunge fashion has also become mainstream, popularizing band t-shirts, ripped jeans, mom jeans, and Doc Martens. A new comedy film called "Beethoven" has just been released in movie theaters.

In television, a new American news show called "Dateline NBC" has been aired for the first time. Meanwhile, a new children's TV series called "Barney & Friends" has also made its debut. A war has broken out in Bosnia and Herzegovina following the shelling of Sarajevo by Serb forces. In Miami, former Panama leader Manuel Noriega has just been found guilty of colluding with Colombia's cocaine cartel.

In the United Kingdom, a new police drama called "Heartbeat" has just been aired for the first time. In the United Kingdom, Prime Minister John Major and the Conservative Party have pulled off a shock win in the 1992 general election. Despite opinion polls consistently favoring Neil Kinnock's Labour Party, the Conservatives have received the largest number of votes in British history. Celebrations have been cut short, however, as the Provision IRA have launched an attack on Britain's financial center. In London, a one-ton IRA bomb has exploded outside of the Baltic Exchange building, killing 3 people. In celebrity news, Superman actor Christopher Reeve and singer Dana Morosini have recently been married.

Meanwhile, actress Lisa Bonet has just filed for divorce from rock star Lenny Kravitz. In Chicago, a botched repair job on a bridge has caused a devastating flood. Over $2 billion worth of damage has been caused. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Robert Reed, Anthony Perkins, Audrey Hepburn, and Thurgood Marshall would all still be alive.

People are playing video games such as "The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants", "Battletoads", "Sonic the Hedgehog", and "F-Zero". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Roseanne", "Round the Twist", "Rugrats", and "Barney & Friends". Children are playing with toys such as Screwball Scramble, Pogo ball / Lolo ball, the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, and Polly Pocket.
