Which is a testament to the true power of Ruby: it lets you write code 
so quickly, so effortlessly, you don't even remember doing it!

Actually, as I recall the Amazon/ruby discussion, the store was in 
alpha/beta, and the link was called '/ruby', or the word 'ruby' somehow 
figured into the site, leading to a lot of speculation.
