Making a music CD.
Assume, hypothetically, that I wanted to make *the* definitive "late 20th century restrospective music" CD. All tracks on it must be largely or completely about historical events and trends caused by them, with emphasis on western pop culture.
"American Pie" and "We Didn't Start The Fire" are easy shoo-ins and good examples of what I'm thinking. Neil Young's "Ohio" is quite possible, although a little too focused around specific events. Midnight Oil's "Truganini" is similar, and also very heavily regionalistic. That wouldn't be bad, except that their region is not my region, which makes it less cool.
Those are the rules. Suggest away!

I want one, part 3.
And for those who asked about the last one like this, they're apparently industrial-sized railway snowblowers. These are the things you use when you need six inches of packed ice OFF those tracks so it doesn't even think about derailing your trains. I don't really know, or care. They're COOOL.

HIV link to dementia 'explained'
Scientists say they now know why around a quarter of people with HIV develop dementia.
The team at Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, said the virus produces proteins that cause brain cells to die.

Once again, I am ripping off Warren Ellis' links. This is because he finds some really cool stuff.

Reasons why stoners suck, volume 2003778, entry 11B
An Austrian man cut off his toes, fried them up and ate them between two slices of bread after getting high sniffing butane gas.
When ambulance men arrived he offered to share his meal with them, passing over a toe and saying: "It tastes like chicken, do you want some, there's a few still left over."
Police said the 35-year-old suddenly became very hungry after sniffing the gas and had searched all his kitchen cupboards, but found nothing to eat.
...
A police spokesman added: "He told the ambulance men that he had more toes than he needed and didn't think he would notice if he got rid of a few."
