Get worldwide time with simple Google query
Google Web Search has many fascinating features that makes it easy to reach your desired info with one simple query.

E.g., define:web 2.0 which will list definitions for web 2.0 from most popular sites. For a list of features visit the Google Web Search Features Page.

Really nice find, although it doesn’t work as well for Canada.. or maybe it does better? My fairly wide country spans over 4.5 hours in timezone differences. Though by either design or chance, it does display the correct time for my current location on top of the other results.
