Identical Twins Born In Different Decades

In what's probably happened before, but never in the age of the Internet and rapid media reporting, identical twin boys in Florida were born not just in different years, but in different decades.

Margarita Velasco delivered the twins, Marcello, and Stephano, by C-section at Tampa General Hospital. Marcello was delivered just before midnight, at 11:59:37 PM. His younger twin, Stephano, was delivered just as the New Year began, at 12:00:02 AM.  Marcello is left, above.

Unsurprisingly, Marcello was the last baby born at TGH in 2009. However, Stephano was not the first baby born at TGH in 2010. That honor went to Kaylan Ann McDaniel, who was delivered one second after midnight.

Juan Velasco, their father, says it's great that they have different birthdays, because each boy will get to have his own birthday party. However, they are still in intensive care because they were born about 10 weeks early. Doctors say they'll get to go home in about eight weeks.

Those who are sticklers for accuracy will note that in reality, the decade does not end until the end of 2010. Obviously, since a decade covers 10 years, the first decade would have be 1-10, which would then be extrapolated to mean the 2001 - 2010 is this decade.

Also, as is always the case for babies born this close to Christmas, they will be somewhat ripped off in terms of combination birthday / Christmas presents.

Not a new decade yet folks! 2011 is the first year of the new decade. Just as 2001 was the first year of the new millennium, 10 years later, not nine, marks the new decade.

Long Hair Hippie Kid is correct.

For those who don't believe it, answer the following for yourself: All decades are 10 years long by definition. We number the years since the birth of Christ. So what years comprised the first decade?

Was it years 1 through 9?

Or was it years 1 through 10?

The answer is that it was years 1 through 10. The reason for this is that there was no year ZERO.

Jan 1, 0001 was the first day of the first year of the first decade. This means that Jan 1, 0010 was the first day of the 10th year of the first decade, so the year 0010 belongs to the first decade, not the second.

The same applies to all following decades, including Jan 1, 2010. Jan 1, 2010 is the first day of the 10th year of the 201st decade since we started counting years this way.

So you two would say that 1989 and 1990 were the same decade?

Not the new decade are still people! 2011 is the first year of this decade. Just like 2001 was the first year of the new millennium, 10 years later, there is a new nine decade.So the two of you could say that 1989 and 1990 were in the same decade?
