Insert datetime problem

How do i insert this string "23:58:44.000 UTC Wed May 11 2005" into the
database with datetime data format...

I tried using:

insert into table (startime) values ('23:58:44.000 UTC Wed May 11
2005')

but got Syntax error converting datetime from character string error.
So how do i do it??? Thx.

SQL Server's DATETIME datatypes don't store any timezone information so
it's up to you to perform any timezone offset calculation.

Use any of the following styles of formatted string to specify dates in
code:

'20031231'
'2003-12-31T17:59:00'
'2003-12-31T17:59:00.000'

These are the safe ISO formats which are guaranteed to work
independently of any regional settings.
