US date format: 11/23/2011, UK date format: 23/11/2011

It was Wednesday, under the sign of Sagittarius (see zodiac on November 23, 2011). The US president was Barack Obama (Democrat), the UK Prime Minister was David Cameron (Conservative), Pope Benedict XVI was leading the Catholic Church. In that special week of November people in US were listening to We Found Love by Rihanna. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, directed by John Madden, was one of the most viewed movies released in 2011 while The Affair by Lee Child was one of the best selling books. On TV people were watching The Layover. If you liked videogames you were probably playing Blocks That Matter or Anno 2070.
But much more happened that day: find out below..
