Is it really off by 30 some minutes as well? or did you just run date 30 
minutes later?

As the other poster mentioned you either have a faulty time server in your 
network and the NTP daemon is picking it or your hardware clock is really 
messed up in which case you may wish to install NTP and have it auto-set your 
clock for you.
