IT WAS A GOOD DAY

Finally, someone has gotten to the bottom of a mystery that's been haunting popular culture for twenty years.

We now know the exact date of Ice Cube's "good day."

This is what the Internet was invented for. So thank you for that, Al Gore.

Of course, someone actually asked Ice Cube about this and ruined the fun because he was forced to give an actual answer, but still. I'm glad someone took the time to get this done.
