"Jan 1 1970" is an absolute date. how do you want to change it's

Function strtotime() is defined as below:

int strtotime ( string time [, int now])

But when I try this function, whatever value I provide to 'now' seem no
affect to the result at all.
I've tried following example:

echo strtotime("Jan 1 1970"), "\n";
echo strtotime("Jan 1 1970", 10000), "\n";
echo strtotime("Jan 1 1970", time()), "\n";

and the result is(PHP 4.0.6, 4.2.3, 4.3.0, Linux, Windows):

18000
18000
18000

I'm in GMT-0500, so I guess the result is correct. But what exactly
the parameter 'now' for? I supposed strtotime() function behave
correctly, so 'now' is just meaningless.
