and that you were:

18 years old when Princess Diana died
16 years old at the time of Oklahoma City bombing
15 years old when O. J. Simpson was charged with murder
14 years old at the time of the bombing of the World Trade Center*
12 years old when Operation Desert Storm began
11 years old during the fall of the Berlin Wall
7 years old when the space shuttle Challenger exploded
5 years old when Apple introduced the Macintosh
4 years old during Sally Ride's travel in space
2 years old when Pres. Reagan was shot by John Hinckley, Jr.
a 1 year old at the time the Iran hostage crisis began

*This refers to the 1993 terrorist bombing of the World Trade Center.

I remember Challenger and the Wall. I remember OJ and the Oklahoma bombing. The important thing that happened when I was 14 was that homosexuality was legalised in Ireland; I was unaware of the bombing. Oh, and I got kissed.

I took this too, and I wondered when I'd see someone non-American take it. I think that the author could have written a more internationalized version; the list of people and events (with the exception of mentioning the Pope, the Berlin Wall falling and Princess Diana's death) seem rather slanted towards American users.
