Microsoft SQL Server 2005 time of day data type

Is there a data type which represents time of day? Such as a datetime data type without the date.

when i format 41 seconds into a datetime data type this is what I get:

1/1/1900 12:00:41 AM

I'm trying to store a duration of time in a table.

In SQL Server 2008, there is a Time data type which only stores the time. In versions of SQL Server prior to 2008, your only choice is the DateTime data type (and SmallDateTime) which stores both the date and the time. However, there are means in most languages including T-SQL to show the time portion. What are you trying to accomplish?
