US date format: 1/22/2014, UK date format: 22/1/2014

It was Wednesday, under the sign of Aquarius (see zodiac on January 22, 2014). The US president was Barack Obama (Democrat), the UK Prime Minister was David Cameron (Conservative), Pope Francis was leading the Catholic Church. In that special week of January people in US were listening to Timber by Pitbull Featuring Ke$ha. Mr. Peabody & Sherman, directed by Rob Minkoff, was one of the most viewed movies released in 2014 while Sycamore Row by John Grisham was one of the best selling books. On TV people were watching House of Fools. If you liked videogames you were probably playing Defense Grid 2 or A City Sleeps.
But much more happened that day: find out below..
