# ParseDate.parsedate "Tuesday, July 6th, 2007, 18:35:20 UTC"
17
# # => [2007, 7, 6, 18, 35, 20, "UTC", 2]
19
# The order is of the form [year, month, day of month, hour, minute, second,
20
# timezone, day of the week].

# ParseDate.parsedate can also take a second argument, +comp+, which
38
# is a boolean telling the method to compensate for dates with years
39
# expressed as two digits. Example:
43
# ParseDate.parsedate "Mon Dec 25 00 06:53:24 UTC", true
44
# # => [2000, 12, 25, 6, 53, 24, "UTC", 1]
