What Happened In The Year You Were Born

I may just be a strange "duck", so to speak but I like to relax when I have a few minutes by scouring the internet for strange and unusual sites and reading what some people would call "useless information".

Well, for all you people out there who are like me and like to read "useless information", I have found a very unique website. It is called, "The People History." You can click on the year you were born, or just a year at random, and find out some important facts that happened during that year, average wages, cost of gas, price of house, etc. To view this website go to www.thepeoplehistory.com.

For example, I was born in 1953. Here are some of the interesting facts for that year:

1. Average wages per year--$4,0000
2. Average cost of new house--$9,950.00
3. Cost of a gallon of gas--$0.20
4. Pound of round steak--$0.90 lb.
5. DeWight Eishenhower was president
6. Flint Michigan F-5 tornado
7. New York Yankees wins 5th world series in a row
8. New York adopts the three color traffic light

So take a moment, grab that cup of coffee and take a trip back in time...if only for a few minutes
