Where was rental Matz available? I'd rather have one.

Sure, why not. And you should get a point for having a last
name that is in the core.

Nahh. Larry's OK. Better to have a Wall in your car
than a car in your wall.

Whew... I was thinking I must've _way_ underestimated my LOC!

There's no error checking, of course. You can easily tell it
you have 250 years of programming experience. Just like it
says on your resume. Just kidding.Oops, it was exactly that error, yes. The first date question doesn't warn you to enter 4 digits and I didn't. Fixing it gives me:
"That's all... your Ruby Geek status is measured at 60.
Have a great day, and keep coding!"And just to be clear, that does involve two not-yet-released books...
Sorry for the confusion.

LOL, I feel better now.
robust. But it's just a toy eh?
I liked it. It's the geeky equivelent of those getting to know you chain letters.
Can you talk about those not-yet-released books??
Sure.
one is a collection of Ruby Quizzes, right?
Yes, this is my book. Best of Ruby Quiz. I've really been pouring all my effort into this for almost a year now, so I'm really hoping you guys will like it. I've added content and code, talked about more solutions, and even completely rewrote some of my summaries. If you like following the quiz, the book is that and more, I think.
I've also contributed recipes to the Ruby Cookbook. See recent thread here for details.

That is the first time in weeks I have *literally* laughed
out loud at a posting. Thanks, Matz.
And if you could be rented, we all would be renting you,
if we could afford it...

We doubled our number of core-method-named people at RubyConf this
year, thanks to the presence of Adam Keys as well as Jim Freeze.
I'm still holding out for Matt Tainted? or Joe Instance_variable_get.
And if anyone legally changes his or her last name to a core method,
he or she will be admitted free of charge.

Don't forget class names. Shashank Date would hate to be left out.
Pronunciation isn't relevant here.

Well, there are those who would agreed that "Tainted?" might be a good description of yours truly...

Yeah, but #freeze belongs to the top class, Object.
Only way to beat that is to be in Kernel. Know anyone
named 'puts' or 'fail'?

Hm. I may have overestimated my LOC, but I got:
austin.to_i # => 120
So did I probably 
..
kaspar.to_i # => 93
whatever, neat the tool.

That's it. I'm legally changing my name to <=>.

There are enough hits on "Mr Rand" and "Mr Trap" on google
And "Mr Loop" is there, too.
