hmm, well I guess that means that the delete_at(-1) isn't being called 
on an array, so the return value of that isn't what I expected. But, to 
answer the question it is possible to tack things on the end like that. 
Take that delete_at(-1) off then run it and call f.class, it probably 
says NilClass, but in the case it says Array, then I don't know back to 
the books for me :)
