Take me back to March 5, 1994

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

The date is March 5, 1994, and it's a Saturday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Pisces. People are currently enjoying their weekend.

Spring is creeping in, and the evenings are starting to get brighter. In America, the song "The Power Of Love" by Celine Dion is at the top of the singles charts, while "Without You" by Mariah Carey is the number-one song in the UK. Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie Ace Ventura: Pet Detective 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 "Married... with Children", "Roseanne", "Melrose Place", and "Walker, Texas Ranger". 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. In Europe, a war is continuing to rage in Bosnia and Herzegovina. 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. In Gloucester, England, suspected serial killer Fred West and his wife have been arrested by police. The arrests follow recent excavations at their home in Wests' Cromwell Street. There are fears for the life of Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain, who is in a coma in Rome, Italy. Cobain is believed to have overdosed on Rohypnol and champagne.

US troops have withdrawn from Somalia earlier than expected. Initially, the deadline had been set for March 31st. People are in shock following the death of actor John Candy, who recently died from a heart attack while vacationing in Durango, Mexico. Candy was only 43 years old and had been filming for the Western parody film "Wagons East". Meanwhile, in Florida, anti-abortionist Michael Griffin has been found guilty of last year's murder of American physician Dr. David Gunn.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Kurt Cobain, Richard Nixon, Ayrton Senna, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "X-Men", "Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master", "Mighty Final Fight", and "Mario's Time Machine". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Married... with Children", "Mr. Bean", "Rugrats", and "X-Men: The Animated Series".

Children are playing with toys such as the Game Boy, Yo-yo, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), and Mighty Max.
