• A) Cleopatra is reinstated to the Egyptian throne after being ousted by her brother, Ptolemy XIII, three years prior.

• B) The FDA approves use of the drug Viagra to treat impotence. Originally a blood pressure and cardiovascular disease medication, the clinical tests yielded poor results save for the strange side effect of causing erections, leading Pfizer to switch gears.
• C) The strongest earthquake in American history, measuring 9.2 on the Richter scale, slams southern Alaska, creating a deadly tsunami. The natural disaster kills 131 people and injures thousands more.
• D) Chef America, the company behind Hot Pockets, receives a registered trademark for the gooey stuffed sandwich following a year of blazing hot sales.
