I'll clear this up. The Japanese have a weird TV time scheduling system that starts at 6AM (with 4 timeslots: 朝, 昼, 夜, 深夜 [morning, daytime, nighttime, latenite]). So, what you get is a program schedule that goes up to "29:55", which would be 5:55AM (Animax airs Kogepan at 29:55). Depending on the station and who makes the website, you might see "27:00" or "深夜 3:00" or just "3:00", for example.
Now, on the official GSG website it has "（水）27:38" (ie. in the 深夜 timeslot), take way 24 and you get Thursday 3:38AM. Not satisfied? Then check out the time schedule for GSG on FujiTV's website:

"2003年11月27日 3:38～4:08 ＃６ 報酬 gelato" (that's a Thursday).
