Guest blog by Mxyl: The... Neat-o '90s...?

A lot of stuff happened during this decade.  This was kind of the grand age of the non sequiter.

First of all, then the World Wide Web was winvented invented.  When the Prime Minister first heard of this, she thought it was virtually useless given the number of websites (or lack thereof). Obviously, a blog was by that point inconceivable.  Now, what should I do next?  So far, I have to choose from:

• Dolly the sheep
• The Kobe quake
• The World Trade center got bombed
• The stock market skyrocketed,
• The Zoomlian Empire was first founded, and
• Klenda and I were born!

And then there was also the Hubble Space Telescope and the beginning of the ISS.

Part of why this post is smaller then the others is probably because it was a relatively peaceful and "normal" time.  The Cold War was over, no one was really afraid of terrorists (save the World Trade Center) and the economy was also doing well.

Oh yeah, and something that no one who grew up in the '90s or late '80s could forget were "the video game wars", as I like to call it, also known to people in their 20s or 30s as Nintendo Vs. Sega, Super NES Vs. Sega Genesis or Mario Vs. Sonic.  PUN WARNING: Thanks to intense competition--particularly Sony's arrival and PS2--Nintendo virtually won by a landslide.

Note: It is obviously a coincidence that I did a whole paragraph about video gaming and less then one sentence about the Hubble Space telescope.

And we've been going on a roll with music from the selected time period, so here are two.
First, Smells like Teen Spirit, by Nirvana.  I'd recommend you only watch 20 seconds or generally enough of to get the idea (Guy who says his life stinks, although you can't tell a word he's saying, obviously courtesy of heavy drugs).
 

Second,  Smells Like Nirvana, by Weird Al.
