Subject: Initializing a DateTime object the best way

Wow - dates and times sure are all over the place in Ruby.

I want to initialize a DateTime object to have MDY of 12/30/1899 but 
time components matching the current time.

I've tried:

DateTime.strptime("%Y-%m-%d %h:%M:%S", "1899-12-30 
#{time.hour}:#{time.min}:#{time.sec}")

but strptime doesn't seem to like it.

Do I need to use a Time object - where's the correct string parsing 
method for me to use?

Thanks,
Wes
