No, because no timezone is more that 24 hours difference

Well, if you live at the international date line you can go from one day to the next by walking east :D but it's still not tomorrow there

It was probably a dirty move by the Googler who posted it. He probably wanted to make it that it stays on top for at least two days just in case someone else posts something. [that's assuming they don't all get posted by the same person] (probably got paid off by Honda)
