Let's go back in time!

The date is July 31st, 2010, and it's a Saturday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Leo. People are currently enjoying their weekend.

It's summer, so the temperatures are warmer and the evenings are longer than usual. In America, the song California Gurls by Katy Perry is at the top of the singles charts. Over in the UK, We No Speak Americano by Yolanda Be Cool is the number-one hit song.

Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Inception is at the top of the box office. David Cameron is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "CSI: Miami", "Grey's Anatomy", "Gossip Girl", and "Sons of Anarchy".

Video rental stores such as Blockbuster are continuing to close their doors at the moment.

People are going to their local cinema to watch a new movie called "Inception".

Missing NBA player Lorenzen Wright has been found shot to death near a wooded area outside of Memphis, Tennessee. A local news interview of Antoine Dodson telling people to "hide yo kids, hide yo wife, and hide yo husband" because "they rapin' err'body out here" has become an Internet sensation. The video has inspired several musical remixes, such as the "Bed Intruder Song" by The Gregory Brothers. Over 1,600 people have been killed by recent floods in Pakistan.

Jersey Shore star "Snooki" has been arrested in New Jersey for disturbing the peace. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Lance Cade, Giant Gonzalez, Denise Borino-Quinn, and Leslie Nielsen would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars", "Farmville", "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves", and "Assassin's Creed II".

Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Go, Diego, Go!", "Ben 10", "Hannah Montana", and "Sonny with a Chance". Children are playing with toys such as the PlayStation 3, Girl Gourmet Cupcake Maker, Crayola Color Wonder Magic Brush, and Playmobil Horse Farm.
