Subject: Re: (4+3).reverse # => 1?

Hal.. good point. :-)

lol.. Ok.. ("8/2").inverse_cal  #  => 16

:-) //my way of running

I was actually studing some finance crap and ran by a definition for
term x.. in taking notes, I wrote down something like..
x - the date when x blah

then there was a term, non-x which is
non-x the date when x not blah

Me being lazy an a ruby enthusiast wrote down
non-x = x.reverse

lol.. then my brain started thing about reversing more than just
strings.. logic.. bah.. I'm a nut. --disregard.
