sorry to post what might be a moronic question, but i although
Time.parse shows up in the online core docs, Time.parse isn't a method
on any machine of mine.
e.g.
irb(main):001:0> Time.methods.sort

(from an ubuntu box running 1.9.0--but i don't get a parse on 1.8.6 on
ubuntu or mac)
in fact, whytheluckstiff's online ruby terminal at hobix.com *does*
have Time#parse. and you all are using it. any ideas? where did i drop
the ball?
thanks in advance.
