This page demonstrates the results of the built
in JS Date() string methods:

   1. toString()
   2. toLocaleString()
   3. toGMTString()

Note that the results of these methods vary
somewhat between browsers and platforms with
the results of toString and toLocaleString
almost exactly reversed between most IE and
Gecko browsers
