Here we go again =)  (I fairly sure I've almost got it now)

Do I understand the Class.ancestors relationship to mean "those classes 
which are implemented by the Class class"? (I had to remind myself that 
Ruby isn't really single inheritance -- it has mixins and whatnot)

e.g.

String.ancestors
=> [String, Enumerable, Comparable, Object, Kernal]

Do I understand Class.superclass to mean the class *directly* 
subclassed to form said class?

Wow that sounds confusing...

Thanks for your patience,
