My Brother...the Time Traveler

Today, January the 15th, is my brother's birthday. He turned 20, and we celebrated by eating Big Macs yesterday. The reason for the famous McDonald's burger is that Wil (my brother) had a Big Mac for his birthday, also on January 14th, where he is.
Now, for those who do not know, my brother is currently in Japan. Which means that his day is 16 hours ahead of my day. So, when he ate his Big Mac on the evening of the 14th in Japan, it was the morning of the 14th here. And when my family ate our burgers on the evening of the 14th at our house, it was the 15th of January in Japan.
And, so, while we were eating Big Macs, he had turned 20. But for us he was still 19. And then once midnight rolled he turned 20 for us as well. Yes, my brother turned 20...twice, or you can look at it as he turned 20 the day before his birthday...but no matter which way you spin it, my brother can obviously travel through time.
Happy Birthday Wil. Thanks for being such a great brother. I'm jealous of your supernatural talents.
