A seriously (if I may say so) kick-ass implementation of a dice notation reader in coffeescript.
Careful, it evals code, keep your strings clean before feeding them to this baby! (and adds a "d" method to Number)

Number::d = ( v )->
[1..@].reduce ( a )->
a + ( Math.floor( Math.random()*v ) + 1 )
, 0
Dice = ( dice )->

Cross-browser, time-zone-aware parsing via JavaScript:
var s = "Fri Apr 09 12:53:54 +0000 2010";
var date = new Date(
s.replace(/^\w+ (\w+) (\d+) ([\d:]+) \+0000 (\d+)$/,
"$1 $2 $4 $3 UTC"));
Tested on IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera.
