Take me back to February 26th, 1994!

Let's go back in time!

The date is February 26th, 1994, and it's a Saturday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Pisces. People are currently enjoying their weekend.

In America, the song The Power Of Love by Celine Dion is at the top of the singles charts. Over in the UK, Without You by Mariah Carey is the number-one hit song. Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie On Deadly Ground is at the top of the box office.

John Major is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. 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 new form of communication called "text messaging" is starting to become more widespread. However, it can only be done if both the sender and the receiver are on the same cell network.

Meanwhile, a global system called "the Internet" is also starting to take off. Each day, more and more people are learning how to send emails and browse "websites" on the World Wide Web by connecting their IBM computers to noisy dial-up modems. In fashion, "grunge" clothing has fallen out of favor, and women are beginning to wear form-fitting outfits such as slip dresses and pencil skirts. Movies such as Clueless and The Craft have popularized the "sexy schoolgirl" look. It's 1994, so radio stations are being dominated by the likes of All-4-One, Boyz II Men, R. Kelly, Céline Dion, Bruce Springsteen, Bryan Adams, Meat Loaf, Bon Jovi, Wet Wet Wet, Rednex and Mariah Carey.

The 1994 Winter Olympics are taking place in Lillehammer, Norway. In Europe, a war is continuing to rage in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In Gloucester, England, police are excavating the garden of suspected serial killer Fred West.

In the Palestinian city Hebron, 29 people have tragically lost their lives in a shooting massacre. The attacker, an American-Israeli extremist called Baruch Goldstein, was beaten to death by survivors in the aftermath of the shooting. Tributes are pouring in for comedian Bill Hicks, who recently passed away at the age of 32 from pancreatic cancer. Hicks had been diagnosed with the disease in June 1993. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as John Candy, Kurt Cobain, Richard Nixon, and Nicole Brown Simpson would all still be alive.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Only Fools and Horses", "Melrose Place", "Martin", and "Beavis and Butt-Head". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master", "Gunstar Heroes", "Tetris 2", and "Doom". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Thomas the Tank Engine", "Mr. Bean", "Rosie and Jim", and "Are You Afraid of the Dark?".

Popular toys at the moment include the SEGA Game Gear, Nerf Blaster, Teen Talk Barbie, and Littlest Pet Shop.
