Daylight's savings times

When daylight’s savings time occurs, we gain an extra hour of sleep. We accomplish this by repeating the 2 am hour. You see, we wait until 2:59 am – but instead of going on to 3 am, we start again at 2 am. This must be sort of weird for pregnant women with twins. Because potentially, a Mom could give birth to her FIRST baby at 2:55 am of the FIRST 2 am cycle… and deliver her SECOND baby at 2:05 am of the repeated hour. So the kid born at 2:05 would ACTUALLY be 10 minutes YOUNGER than the kid born at 2:55. Pretty weird, huh? Or maybe not.

Well, fuck you. I find it interesting.
