Moria Tests

I've recently run across some unit tests that may fail 1) if in the wrong time zone or 2) at the wrong time of day. The latter tests don't immediately appear to have anything to do with time, even.

So I've decided to dub these tests "Moria Tests." This is an allusion to Tolkien's door to Moria that the Fellowship had to arrive at at a precise time in relation to astral phenomena. Any test that is fragile in these ways will henceforth be known thusly by me.

You are hereby granted license to do so as well, without any attribution. And if someone else has already so dubbed them, I apologize and claim ignorance. Must be the universal subconscious at work..
