| To be fair, the documentation does say that strtotime only /attempts/ to
| give the correct timestamp.

just to razz you a bit...

all software /attempts/ to do what it should. now to be more accurate than
fair/apologetic, it is far better for a function to *fail* when such
/attempts/ cannot be concluded successfully. i'd rather get an error thrown
my way or *nothing at all* returned from said function instead of *wrong* or
unexpected results.

otoh, [if digital cameras worked this way and, ] if this kind of thing
happened when i took pictures of beautiful women but the camera's /attempts/
failed to clothe them...not only would i be forgiving...i'd buy more. some
unexpected results are quite splendid indeed. ;^)
