BBM™ Shortcuts Time and Date

Just a quick one from me. During a conversation on BBM™ I was discussing time zones with someone abroad. Being that I am contacting people in different countries more and more, I am beginning to get an appreciation for time zones (especially when using BBM™). After asking +Craig Cook the time difference between us, he was almost instantly able to reply with the current time and date. This seems to be a well known shortcut for seasoned BlackBerry® users but for me it was a nice surprise. So here it is for those that don't know: Type LD and a space - Shows the current date in BBM™
Type LT and a space - Shows the current time in BBM™Due to BlackBerry® devices' notorious system-wide integration I presume one can use these shortcuts elsewhere but I haven't tested it out yet. As always, when I do, you will too.

[Update: confirmed. These shortcuts will work on any BlackBerry® smartphone.]
