Take me back to August 26th, 2000!

Let's go back in time!

The date is August 26th, 2000, and it's a Saturday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Virgo. People are currently enjoying their weekend.

The summer of 2000 is coming to an end and fall is just around the corner. In America, the song Incomplete by Sisqo is at the top of the singles charts. Over in the UK, I Turn To You by Melanie C is the number-one hit song.

Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie The Cell is at the top of the box office. Tony Blair is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. A relatively new form of communication called "text messaging" is becoming more widespread. Although the technology has been around since the mid-1990s, it was only recently that cell providers allowed users to send SMS messages to people on different networks.

The Nokia 3210 is currently one of the most popular cellphones on the market. In technology news, more and more music companies are beginning to release MP3 players. The new MP3 format means that music listeners are able to listen to multiple albums on the go. It's the year 2000, so the music charts are being dominated by the likes of Christina Aguilera, Faith Hill, Savage Garden, Destiny's Child, Santana, Sisqó, Creed, Aaliyah and Enrique Iglesias.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Yokozuna, Kirsty MacColl, Dale Earnhardt, and Jennifer Syme would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Frasier", "Touched by an Angel", "Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place", and "The Sopranos". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Counter-Strike", "Driver", "Rayman 2: The Great Escape", and "Perfect Dark".

Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Hang Time", "The Angry Beavers", "The Powerpuff Girls", and "Digimon Adventure". Popular toys at the moment include Betty Spaghetty (doll), WWF action figures, Bop It Extreme, and Rocket the Wonder Dog.
