The 21st century is the century that began on 1 January 2001 and will last to 31 December 2100. Frequently common usage regards the 21st century as spanning 2000 to 2099, though this method of counting ignores the fact that there was no year 0. In 2000 the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) implicitly backed the common usage by defining a calendar that places the origin of the counting in a year zero.

The U.S. presidential election of 2000 was one of the closest elections in U.S. history, decided by only 527 votes in the swing state of Florida. On election night, the media prematurely declared a winner twice based on exit polls before finally deciding that the Florida race was too close to call.

Bush won Florida's 25 electoral votes by a razor-thin margin of the popular ...
Age fabrication is when a person deliberately lies about their actual age. It is usually for the purpose of gaining privileges or seeming younger, sometimes going as far as to altering vital records. For example, during the 1940s and 1950s in Hollywood, it was extremely common for actresses to subtract at least one year from their actual age. Most often, it is lowered. Sometimes it is not the people themselves that lower their public age, but others around them such as publicists, parents, and other handlers.
