Haha. You're right. It does. That's an open parenthesis ( followed by a close parenthesis ) so it becomes:
=Date()
Basically, Date is a function that takes no parameters in, and returns the current date. That's why there are the empty parentheses. In most cases you can actually avoid using them, but it's good practice to put them there.
