I think they will both cause the current thread to sleep.  They both 
call the static Thread.sleep() method, and that affects the current 
thread.

Java allows you to prefix a call to a static method with either the 
class name or an reference of the class type.  But in both cases, it 
calls the static method, and that method has no way of knowing which 
way the call was specified.

I think it is pretty strange that it allows this, but I have heard some 
that like this aspect of the Java language.  I think it causes more 
confusion than it is worth.
