The ParseDate.parsdate method in the standard library does the first
three on your list, http://www.rubycentral.com/book/lib_standard.html

I want that and some more fun stuff like your other examples or "last
tuesday at 5", "four days ago in the afternoon" (maybe a little
rediculous).  It's the relative stuff that gets interesting...

Does anyone know of something out there that will turn number strings
(eg. "four") into a number?  It gets fun when you do stuff like
"thirteenth"...
