What significant events happened on 4/02/2008 in the world/nations.

I'm curious about this date since it was added to my Options in my MemCenter last night.. but not by me. My pc at the house is hands off and no one in the house knows to change my options and doesn't know my password for my ATS log in.

Does anyone know of a website that shows significant events in the world that happened on 4/02/2008? if so, can you plz post them here..

much thanks

I do recall that date being my birthday. I am not known as the hacker type and would not use that date if I was.

It might be interesting to see what number that date equals in the UNIX OS or PHP database storage value for the field holding that info.

Guess you are trying to figure out glitch or human.

So i assume you are sure you didn't type a date into the format field of your profile instead of formatting characters. I get the impression it just changed by your post. I have seen where others have mentioned this and a mod reminded them of how the field is used and the member seemed to remedy the situation.

If you didn't type it in then I think glitch.

After thinking about this date and essentially finding nothing using the standard mm/dd/yyyy in Google. Minutes ago I got a thought to input April 2nd, 2008

Here's one of the URLsI found..
