/**
 * Why does this exist? http://xkcd.com/1179/ also because it makes sense to have a standard way in WordPress to work with
 * dates and times so that plugin developers can create plugins that will work in any timezone worldwide.
 * 
 * WordPress sets the default timezone during execution to UTC, reguardless of what the server is set to.
 * This means that date( 'FORMAT' ) will always give you the current time in UTC, not the timezone you have set
 * in the WP admin settings. Use date( 'FORMAT', current_time( 'timestamp' ) ) instead to get WP local time. Likewise,
 * use current_time( 'timestamp' ) instead of time() for the local time.
