Yow. That's definitely worth knowing.

Anyway, for the original poster, if you go here:

http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/...

And click on ">>" or "<<" you will find Luis' suggestion totally
works. These methods step backwards or forwards by month with Date
objects. (I have to admit, I'm kind of cuious why ActionPack doesn't
just use this to get a 1.month.from_now which really is one month from
now.)

Another option is to use chronic

require 'chronic'
puts Chronic.parse("1 month from now")
