I've read that scientists have placed atomic clocks at the top and bottom of tall water towers and discovered, as predicted by General Relativity, that the clock at the top (less affected by gravity) does run faster than the one at the bottom.
Consequently, if you and your twin have to share a bunk bed, take the lower one; you'll age slower. Okay, well, it probably take a million years to equal a couple of seconds.
