Hey, this is interesting...  These two messages came in a few minutes apart
in the same newsgroup...  (Headers trimmed for brevity)

Same newsgroup, same thread, but posted from totally different parts of the
world -- and way totally different time zones.  :)

Fredrik's message comes from Norway, where it is mid-morning on the 19th.
Jesse's message comes from Honolulu, Hawaii, where it is late night on the
18th (or around 1 a.m. on the 19th, technically).

Honolulu is at 21º19'N, 157º52'W and Oslo (just to pick a city in Norway) is
at 59º55'N, 010º45'E.  In terms of time zone differences, you can't get too
much farther apart than that!  :)
