Take me back to September 18th, 2000!

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

The date is September 18th, 2000, and it's a Monday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Virgo. The weekend has just passed, so some people are feeling a bit down. Others are tired after partying too much.

Schools and colleges are starting again, and fall has officially arrived. As a result, temperatures are beginning to cool, and trees are starting to shed their leaves. The earthy smells of autumn have started to fill the air. In America, the song Music by Madonna is at the top of the singles charts.

Over in the UK, Lady by Modjo is the number-one hit song. Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie The Watcher 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. 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.

Rock band Papa Roach have just released their single "Last Resort". 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", "7th Heaven", "Everybody Loves Raymond", and "Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "SimCity 3000", "Dino Crisis", "Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes", and "ECW Anarchy Rulz".
