Hey I'm wondering when accessing Zend_Registry in an application if you need to include getInstance() and if so, why?

for example

    Zend_Registry::getInstance()->get('db');

vs.

    Zend_Registry::get('db');

they both seem to work with the later being less verbose. I vaguely understand that Zend_Registry is a singleton, which I think means there can only be one instance of it? so why would you need getInstance()?
