Damn, I remember when the 21st century was still going to be 16 years in the future.

15 years old, actually. The 21st century began 1 January 2001, not 1 January 2000. This is because there isn't a Year 0.

So? The various calendar conversions means there isn't an integer number of years between Jan 1, 1AD and the start of any year or century now.

Correct as far as it goes, but it doesn't much matter. Centuries (Western calendar) begin on 1 January _ _ _ 1, not 1 January _ _ _ 0.

I was reading something in yahoo news the other day, and someone posted how they thought that 2016 meant how old the US is. LOL

I remember talking in junior high about how exciting it was that we'd live to the 21st century and how very old we'd be. You know old, like mid to late thirties. :0 I expect to much more of the 21st century. And I don't feel old yet.

The big change for me was not the big round number, but the internet. None of us in the 80s saw that coming.

Think about it. When you have your first birthday you've's already bean here for one year and are now ready to start your second year. By the same token, the 21 century began in 2000. by the time 2001 arrived it was one years old.

Note: I will continue to love you and think you're the greatest no matter what conclusion you come to concerning this. It's just water under the bridge.
