Timezones. Right now, over here, it's actually later on in
the day for you,
So, if I send something to you now, you shouldn't really get
it until _after_ it's been this time for you, but if the
Internet makes a mistake and sends my message the wrong way
round the world, you'll actually receive my answer yesterday,
before you even write the question.
Understand now?

Jackin' out...
