How Come Everything I've Seen Happen Recently Happened For The First Time In Thirteen Years?

Indiana won the Big Ten Baseball Tournament and will be in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since ... 1996.

Saw Late Night With Jimmy Fallon the other night when Whoopi Goldberg was on. She said it had been a long time since she flew on an airplane. The last time? 1996.

Every issue of The Onion has a little parody weather blurb in the upper-right-hand corner. This week's? It celebrates the thirteenth anniversary of that insipid tornado movie, Twister. 2009-13= ... 1996.

There were a couple more "since 1996" instances I ran across this week, but I was floored that there were this many that I forgot the rest.
