The date is November 11, 1993, and it's a Thursday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Scorpio. It's November, so the evenings are getting darker and the days are getting colder.

The song "I'd Do Anything For Love" by Meat Loaf is at the top of the music charts in the United States and the United Kingdom. Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie Nightmare Before Christmas 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 "Only Fools and Horses", "In the Heat of the Night", "Step by Step", and "Martin". Texting is not a thing yet. Instead, people are using landline phones and pagers. Furthermore, most people have never heard of the Internet. 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. Meanwhile, in technology news, a relatively new storage format called the CD is beginning to outpace the regular cassette tape in music sales. The disc-based format gives listeners the ability to skip between songs instead of having to manually rewind and forward. A playing discs game called "Pogs" is currently spreading in popularity throughout the world.

It's 1993, so radio stations are being dominated by the likes of Meat Loaf, UB40, Snow, Haddaway, Whitney Houston, Take That, Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey. On television, a new sitcom called "The Nanny" has been aired for the first time. In Canada, Liberal Party leader Jean Chretien has become the new Prime Minister.

RoboCop 3 has just been released in movie theaters. However, critics have been largely critical of the film. In boxing, Evander Holyfield has regained the undisputed world heavyweight championship after defeating Riddick Bowe. This is the second time that the pair have fought each other. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Frank Zappa, Charizma, Telly Savalas, and Bill Hicks would all still be alive.

People are playing video games such as "Paperboy", "Street Fighter II: The World Warrior", "Super Star Wars", and "NBA Jam". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Thomas the Tank Engine", "Married... with Children", "Are You Afraid of the Dark?", and "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper". Children are playing with toys such as Screwball Scramble, Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles figures, Polly Pocket, and Action Man.
