As a twin, I say this is neat. They not only get to celebrate on different days, but different years. One twin will always seem to be 1-yr younger, because of the year he was born.

Added from another news source:

The first is Marcello, who was delivered at 11:59 p.m. Dec. 31. The second is Stephano, who arrives just after the stroke of midnight. It's Jan. 1, 2010. Marcello is 2 pounds, 4 ounces and 15 1/2 inches long. Stephano is 2 pounds, 4 ounces and 15 inches long.

Neat that they are twins, but this decade will end December 31, 2010. There are ten years in a decade and we just completed the ninth.

Not only were they born in different millenia but their weight was just shy of a tonne and their lengths were within a half mile of a light year.

As a certified tax preparer, I no that the family will only be able to claim one of them for the 2009 tax year BUT they will be able to claim the whole dependent tax credit of 750 Gazillion dollars give or take a penny!

...but what do I know. I'm not the Count!

CBS is so pathetic it actually believes the decade ended 12/31/09? Sheesh. They’re only a year off... but who’s counting?
