This is uncanny.  I'm freaking out over this!  Think about it:

* Ruby was invented by Jim Matsumoto
* AND! The most popular package for Ruby is called RubyJims.
* AND! Jim Heinemeier Hansson and Jim Alan Black were born on the same 
day as all the other Jims ever!
* AND! Ruby is cross-platform, meaning it works well on Jimux and 
Jimdows and Macjimtosh.
* AND! Proof: RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /j/im
* AND! Ruby starts with the letter Jim!
* AND! Jim is the key ingredient in making computers.  (No surprise here.)
* BUT! When a computer breaks and its modem is going crazy, some people 
curse, "Looks like I'm the first log on the train to Jimsville!"
