getTime() gives you milliseconds. you want seconds.

ummm... well, how might one convert milliseconds to seconds? here are a few ideas:

- write a screenscraper to get the answer from here: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=1000+milliseconds+t...

- or perhaps hook your function up to the search API to get the answer that way (not sure if you can access the calculator through the API, though)

- or maybe just divide by 1000.
