2016 is the sixteenth year of the 21st century. It follows 2015 and takes place before 2017. This is a Leap Year, which means we get an extra day in February, which tends to cock everything up. Chicks who were born in 2001 are celebrating their 16th birthday this year, and are encouraged to avail themselves of the 1983 slasher flick Sweet Sixteen.
