Each of the following events happened on May 18. Your challenge is to put them in the order in which they occurred by year, earliest to latest. Answers at the bottom!

• A) The animated comedy Shrek, with voices provided by Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz, is released in the US. It would go on to win the first-ever Academy Award for best animated feature.
• B) Mount St. Helens, a volcanic peak in southwestern Washington, suffers a massive eruption, killing 57 people and devastating ~ 210 square miles of wilderness.
• C) Facebook, the world’s largest social network, holds its initial public offering (IPO) and raises $16 billion. It was the largest technology IPO in American history to that date, and the third-largest IPO ever in the United States, after those of Visa and General Motors.
• D) Randy Johnson becomes the oldest pitcher to throw a perfect game at 40 years old, pitching for the Arizona Diamondbacks against the Atlanta Braves in a 2-0 victory.
