time anomaly

[Brian Yennie]

This is a guess, but I believe it would be because:

"The seconds function returns the total number of seconds since 
midnight, January 1, 1970 GMT"

Assuming your timezone is at GMT-5 hours, you are seeing 54 seconds 
past January 1, 1970 GMT, otherwise known as December 31, 1969 @ 
19:00:54

HTH,
Brian
