What year was dirt made in again? ;)
Wow, I have no clue what happened the year I was born as there were only 2 days left in the year when I arrived.
Edit: 1972- Dallas Cowboys win Superbowl VI
I was able to see them win the Superbowls of 1992, 1994, & 1995, but it's cool to know my birthyear was another great year for them.
