Very nice read. Thanks for sharing Pat, and thanks for writing, Ara.

You gotta love 'It (ruby) is a veritable Swiss Army machete'.

Being swiss, I can confirm that there is no such thing, and not much use
for it in Switzerland either.

Not that you'd need all the other zillion tools in the swiss army knife,
except that nice screwdriver in the cybertool that lets you open all your
household machines and void warranties all over the place.

Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't the *true* swiss army knife only
have very few tools? My Victorinox has six of them and I use them all.
That has nothing to do with a televison series starring Richard Dean
Anderson that I loved and still love to watch(*). The swiss army knife
simply is a very handy tool. I am not swiss but german.

(*) "Mac Guyver" (if you don't know the series: it is some kind of
"'Brianiac - Science abuse' meets 'Indiana Jones'" with aggressive
Victorinox product placement).

" it is some kind of

Don't forget the
liberal/social-welfare/pro-democratic/environmentalist/anti-gun
agenda! No, seriously, I love that show and have seen pretty much
every episode. The plot line can usually be judged based on what
type of car he is driving in the first five minutes as there were
about 5 or 6 car changes throughout the show, and towards the end he
got to go after less KGB-type agents and he would have different
girlfriends that met different tragic deaths.

Also note that Perl is often referred to as the "Swiss Army
Chainsaw"... so what does that make Ruby?

Ironically I thought about this (the Swiss Army Laser Scalpel) on the way home.

Maybe Swiss Army Plasma Torch?
