i am working with dates and got some confusing behaviour
```
>console.log(new Date(getTime()).toString());
Sun Jan 18 1970 00:24:12 GMT+0000
>console.log(new Date().toString());
Wed Aug 3 2016 19:29:50 GMT+0000
```
i expected to be able to create a new Date with the value from getTime()
getTime() returns a floating point number, but with rounding Math.round(getTime()); the result does not change

Is there some error in my code or my expectations, maybe some misinterpretation of the docs on my side?
