Everone has the same. Just a harmless and ridiculous glitch. 
I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>Offline

Re: "-1 year,12 months ago" comment!
It is probably a timer difference between two different machines. If the clocks differ by a minute, then one machine sees a message from a minute ago as actually being in the future. The software that computes how long ago things are gets confused by the negative number and does a stupid "-1 year +12 months". The person who wrote that software did not bother to check that the 'time ago" value was positive and treat the negative numbers near zero as zero.
