That's definitely a gotcha but I wouldn't necessarily say it's fucked  
up. It's just that Time#now returns the current (exact) point of time,  
so running it successively on the same machine will by definition  
return different values (by a tiny margin but still).

The fact that the textual representation of the two look exactly the  
same certainly makes it confusing the first time get bitten by it,  
though :-)
