No one seems to be able to agree on his date of birth (or death): It was the 21st or 25th of January 1924 or 1925. He died on 18 or 20 April, 1992, aged 67 or 68, depending on the source.
Even the Wikipedia article that claims he was born in 1924 uses for its citation for that fact a New York Times article that says 1925. CNN says 1925 birth, April 20th, 1992 (Monday) death.

Over the course of one week in July, 21 pieces of a comet named Shoemaker-Levy 9 rained down on Jupiter. Astronomers predicted it would happen, and were ready for it.
The best pictures came from the Hubble Space Telescope, and left observers breathless.
When the first piece of the comet, Fragment A, observers saw a dark formation thousands of kilometers wide. When the largest fragment, G, hit three days later,
it unleashed a force equal to 500,000,000 Hiroshima-type bombs.
What does this mean for us? Some say Earth could become a bullseye for a comet or an asteroid.
Carl Sagan, Cornell Univ. Astronomer: Chicken Little was mistaken, but, as Shoemaker-Levy 9 hitting Jupiter reminds us, there really are these objects in the sky, and they really do hit worlds.
Shoemaker-Levy 9 leaves behind a legacy: A mountain of data that will keep scientists busy for years.

Chris Farley famously lampooned this event on Saturday Night Live. The event took place January 2nd, 1994, at the Mayoral Inauguration of Rudy Giuliani.
U.S. District Judge Michael Mukasey: Please raise your right hand.
At, first it seemed a heartwarming example of father-son bonding. 7-year-old Andrew taking the oath as New York City mayor along with his father, Rudolph Guiliani.
Judge: ...that I will support the Constitution of the United States...
Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, New York: ...that I will support...
But, when Mayor Giuliani went to the podium, so did Andrew.
Giuliani: Im gonna have a co-addressee I guess: Andrew.
And soon, he was upstaging his fathers no-nonsense message.
Giuliani: ...of the centrality of God to our city... ...and New York City will again be the capital of the world.
Andrew: It should be so, and it will be so.
Giuliani: All of you have the same ingenuity, the same sensitivity, the same talent, the same courage that our ancestors had ... a stronger and a healthier City. It should be so and it will be so. Thank you.

Recorded not long before 1993-04-25. New Style ’n Go. A bunch of women with very different hairstyles from curly to bald to frizzy to straight all use the Braun Style ’n Go curling iron / electric brush. Woman at the end secrets it conveniently in her jean pocket. Song in the background says Go, go go... ready? Do what you wanna do...
