On this day in 2010

So, David Cameron has just had a new baby.

In a few years, no doubt she'll grow up and ask, Daddy, what was going on in the world when I was born?

To which he'll say, well, Daddy was running the country, and we were trying to co-ordinate international aid for a massive humanitarian crisis in Pakistan.

(after which he will no doubt clarify "Pakistan is what we used to call the glowing radioactive dead zone before the war with India".)

Then imagine her surprise when, later in life, she decides to look up one of those websites online that lets you see what the headlines were on the day that you were born, only to find "Woman Puts Cat In Wheelie Bin".
