For the real-life events, organizations and places which have been touched on during the DF, several examples have been mentioned even within this timeline thread, if I remember correctly. Others could be quickly researched.
If you want to collect them up and then share them, either here or opening a thread of its own for them, others might find use for your efforts too. One example of a RL site mentioned: Stroger Hospital was in the planning and funding process for a number of years, then opened its doors December 2002, IIRC. (And by the way, the name of the politician for whom the hospital was named for is pronounced 'Stro jur with accent on the first syllable, not g pronounced like in growl, so I'm assuming that the hospital name is pronounced like its namesake's.)
During a series reread, it can be interesting to note the real world references, although of course it's always necessary to allow for the fact that the actual months when Jim is writing each book naturally have a considerable lead time prior to each's release date. That interval is greatest for the first few books because SF and FM had already been finished, except for final polishing, during the period when Jim had begun negotiating with prospective agents and publishing houses to sell his series.

I didn't see Thomas's birth listed on the timeline, or did I overlook it? If Harry is Oct 21, 25 BSF, then Thomas should be Feb 14, 31 BSF.

I see it now. Weird that I missed it at first glance. With Thomas' Birthday coming up, I was curious as to how old he would be.
So he would be turning 44 or 45 this month. Interesting.
Ben de Wal:
old enough to know better?
