return in a block doesn't just return the block, it returns the method
where the block has been created.

Exemple:

def my_method
	test = ["one", "two", "three"]
	test.each do |e|
		if e == "three"
			return "my_method returned"
		end
		puts e
	end
	puts "will it ever goes here?"
end

puts my_method

output:

one
two
my_method_returned
