Thanks for your comment, now I understand that all the unused instance 
variable would reference to the same object until they come into 
existence:

1. by assigement.
2. by reference (as default to nil object)
3. by using the object method instance_variable_set()

True,
puts "string".class

Thanks for the other replies :D

Now the question is,

When does the instance variable holds the object itself?

class A; end;

@one = A.new
@two = A.new

p @one.object_id
p @one_object_id
# 21103660
# 21103640

Two different objects, even if they were the same.

How does all the nil instance variable reference to the same object?
