Some anniversaries are a bit more awkward than others, but there are certain milestones in western civilization that just cannot be ignored. Back in the 90s, researchers were testing out Sildenafil for possible effects on chest pains and assorted other problems. It turned out, that it didn't help. What it did however, was give the user an amazing erection for several hours straight.
This was the birth of Viagra. And on march 27th, 1998, ten years ago today, the FDA approved the pills for commercial sale.
Western Civilization may not be able to cure cancer or solve environmental problems, but we can give stiffies to near-dead 90 year olds. Now if that isn't an accomplishment, I don't know what is.
Cheers!
