OK, let me try again.

   irb(main):068:0> t = Time.now
   => Sat Nov 12 13:33:08 EST 2005
   irb(main):069:0> d = DateTime.parse(t.iso8601)
   => #<DateTime: 52999645097/21600,-5/24,2299161>
   irb(main):070:0> d.strftime("%c")
   => "Sat Nov 12 13:33:08 2005"
   irb(main):071:0> Time.parse(d.strftime("%c"))
   => Sat Nov 12 13:33:08 EST 2005

'parse' seems to be a good bet in both directions.
