Take me back to December 8, 1992

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

It is Tuesday, December 8, 1992. Anyone born today will have the star sign Sagittarius. The Christmas season of 1992 has begun.

The song "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston is at the top of the music charts in the United States and the United Kingdom. George W. Bush Snr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Home Alone 2: Lost in New York 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. Disney's "Aladdin" and "The Bodyguard", starring Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner, are both being shown in movie theaters at the moment.

US military forces have arrived in Somalia to help guarantee the delivery of humanitarian aid. Over the past few months, the situation in the country has continued to worsen, with factions continuing to splinter into smaller groups. This has made it extremely difficult for the UN to negotiate with faction leaders over food distribution. 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 "Sherlock Holmes", "Murder, She Wrote", "One Foot in the Grave", and "Baywatch".

Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Super Castlevania IV", "Evander Holyfield's Real Deal Boxing", "Super Star Wars", and "Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood", "Count Duckula", "Saved by the Bell", and "Rugrats". Popular toys at the moment include the Ghostbusters Proton Pack, the Game Boy, Super Soaker (water gun), and Teen Talk Barbie.
