How a twin born first is "born" second

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2007/11/09/lamb.nc.daylight.savings.twins.wral

Sunday Nov. 4, first twin born at 1:32 a.m. EDT. 34 minutes later, the other twin is born, at 1:06 a.m. EST.
Since EDT and EST aren't on birth certificates, the twin that was born second will have a time and date of birth of Nov. 4, 1:06 a.m., while the twin that was born first will have a time and date of birth of Nov. 4, 1:32 a.m., 26 minutes later, despite beign born 34 minutes earlier.

 

What are you, from Arizona?

 

Up the butt, and none too gently.

 

Thank god that did not happen to me....

WTF?

 

So, which one gets the birthright?

 

What do you mean, thank God that didn't happen to you?

It's an oddity but it's just not a big deal.

 

Wow, should be some interesting sibling fights growing up.

"I was born first!"

"Uh-uh, I'M the older one!"

 

I am a twin...

 

What will be ironic is if in, say, 18 years, one of them loses their virginity at 1:35 a.m. after a night celebrating a birthday, then a half-hour later, ideally in a separate event, the other does the same after the clocks have been turned back. Then it's the same who-first craziness all over again!

 

Love the overanalyzing mediaguy ;D
