      In the shell, doing, calling Date() gets you the current date, regardless of what argument you give it. Calling "new Date()" gets you the argument string converted:

      > Date("November 15, 2010 10:00:00 UTC")
      Mon Nov 08 2010 10:42:17 GMT-0500 (EST)

      > new Date("November 15, 2010 10:00:00 UTC")
      "Mon Nov 15 2010 05:00:00 GMT-0500 (EST)"

      This is, at best, unexpected.
