Take me back to October 20th, 1992!

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

The date is October 20th, 1992, and it's a Tuesday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Libra. The summer is long gone. Temperatures have started to become much cooler and the evenings are beginning to get darker.

Fallen leaves have carpeted driveways, lawns, pathways, and sidewalks. There is also a fresh, earthy scent in the air. Halloween of 1992 is quickly approaching and stores are selling costumes and decorations. In America, the song End Of The Road by Boyz II Men is at the top of the singles charts.

Over in the UK, Sleeping Satellite by Tasmin Archer is the number-one hit song. George W. Bush Snr. is the President of the United States, and the movie The Last of the Mohicans is at the top of the box office. John Major is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

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.

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 war is continuing to rage in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the United States, the campaign for the 1992 presidential election is in full swing, with Democratic Party nominee Bill Clinton taking on Republican incumbent George H. W. Bush.

A new horror movie called "Candyman" has just been released in movie theaters. Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor is continuing to receive backlash over her decision to rip up a photograph of the Pope on Saturday Night Live earlier this month. At a tribute concert for Bob Dylan, O'Connor is booed by many members of the audience. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Audrey Hepburn, Thurgood Marshall, Andre the Giant, and Bobby Moore would all still be alive.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Last of the Summer Wine", "Murder, She Wrote", "In the Heat of the Night", and "Seinfeld". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "F-16 Combat Pilot", "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past", "Mortal Kombat", and "Night Trap". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Pingu", "Fireman Sam", "The Adventures of Pete & Pete", and "Doug".

Popular toys at the moment include Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles figures, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), Nerf Blaster, and Mighty Max.
