So, only a few days left in 2008. 2009 is going to be interesting I think, but for now lets look back on this year;

January;

Not much really happened in January it seems. Important deaths; Heath Ledger.

February;

Well, my grandfather died in February, so it kinda sucked for me(especially considering the day too), but I'll look past it for now.

Anyway, Iran started a space program, which is nifty, but the value of it died to me because my brother wouldn't shut up about it. And the US shot down a spy satellite gone dead weather satellite to one-up China since they did so earlier since it had toxic fuel.

March;

Not much happened this month besides that awesomely-visible exploded star. Important deaths; Gary Gygax and Neil Aspinall

April;

Really not much here either.

May;

The Phoenix craft lands on the polar icecap of Mars, which is awesome because we can now get samples from Mars.

June;

Bill Gates stepped down from Microsoft. Important deaths; Bo Diddley, Tim Russert and George Carlin.

July;

Besides the G8 summit, not much.

August;

Beijing Olympics, ownage in the form of Michael Phelps, and Russia attacking Georgia. Important deaths; Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes.

September;

The LHC went online, which was awesome. Otherwise not much. Important deaths; Richard "Rick" Wright and Paul Newman.

October;

US stockmarket dies, basically taking the rest of the world economy with it.

November;

Barack Obama is elected the 44th president of the US and the first African-American president. Water is found on Mars, and the impossible happens in the form of Chinese Democracy finally being released. Important deaths; Mitch Mitchell and Michael Crichton.

December;

Not much has happened out of the usual this month besides Joe Satriani sueing Coldplay for being more popular than him, masking it by claiming they plagiarizing his song, If I Could Fly. Deaths; William Mark "Deep Throat" Felt.

So yeah, if you think I missed anything/anyone, tell me and I'll edit.
