I'm unable to subdue a bout of narcissism inspired by Uncle, so according to this, I'm the same age as Mel Gibson, Bill Maher, Joe Montana, Tom Hanks, Larry Bird and The Price is Right, and the year of my birth saw the sinking of the Andrea Doria off of Nantucket, the Soviets crushing the anti-Communist uprising in Hungary and the conflict over the Suez Canal in Egypt. Racism was still rampant in America, and surprise, surprise, the Yankees won the World Series.

I wasn't surprised by Gibson or Maher, but I thought that Montana, Hanks and Bird were younger than me.
