I guess I might as well ask you this here.  :-)

Any idea why the second one fails:

> DateTime.strptime('2000-09-28 05:23:01 -0400', '%F %T %z').strftime('%s')
=> "970132981"

> DateTime.strptime('970132981', '%s').strftime('%s')
ArgumentError: invalid date
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/date.rb:485:in `new_with_hash'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/date.rb:495:in `strptime'
        from (irb):31

Thanks!
