Wow, 1997 must have really sucked.

I mean, to make you look like that, things must have been at their breaking point. Well for starters, you had Tyson biting off an ear. I could see how that would add a few lines...Oh yeah, the Heavens Gate suicide cult thing...South Park premiered, that would freak some people out...The release of HTML 4.0? (Coding can be scary you know)...The cloning of Dolly the sheep, no wait, that would be a happy thing for some...a fire aboard the Russian space station Mir?

Yeah, on second thought, things are better now.
