Imagine Daylight Saving in Kenya ...

Thank God Kenya is @ the equator !

Have you guys ever pondered how much more shit there would be in Kenya if we had day light saving ?

How many times have you heard about siblings slaughtering each other for land ?

Now imagine this :

A lady is belaboured with twins ... it is the last saturday of october - you know - the day we "fall back" in time ...

screaming...

1.59 am : First child drops ...

more screaming ...

10 minutes later: second child drops ...


Dilemma:

Technically, the 1.59 am child is the first born right ? ....
But legally, since @ 1.59 am the clock moves back to 1.00 am, the second child is now born @ 1.09 am and becomes the first born ...

Fast forward: Inheritance time. Both can make a claim to be first borns, right ? One on a point of law, the other on logic. Sio ?

daylight saving would be a 'drinkers' holiday especially if it came on a sato or friday.

to your dilemma the last born would have to be the first born...lol since legally the time of birth wouldn't have a (it was daylight savings time).
