Subject: undefined method `create'

I want to create one creature and write it to the dwemthys.db, and I'm 
close.  From the example at <http://www.dzone.com/links/rss/
simple_ruby_activerecord_example.html?> I know that the "create" method 
is used for this, but somehow it fails when for creatures when it works 
for the example.

All code is at <http://code.google.com/p/dwemthys/source>, but this is 
what I'm running into:


thufir@arrakis ~/Desktop/dwemthys $ 
thufir@arrakis ~/Desktop/dwemthys $ ruby creatures.rb 
-- create_table(:creatures)
  SQL (0.016574)   CREATE TABLE creatures ("id" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY NOT 
NULL, "life" integer DEFAULT NULL, "strength" integer DEFAULT NULL, 
"charisma" integer DEFAULT NULL, "weapon" integer DEFAULT NULL) 
   -> 0.1334s
creatures.rb:28: undefined method `create' for Creature:Class 
(NoMethodError)
thufir@arrakis ~/Desktop/dwemthys $ 
thufir@arrakis ~/Desktop/dwemthys $ cat creatures.rb 
require 'active_record'
require 'ArrayOfCreatures'
require 'MakeCreature'
require 'Creature'

include MakeCreature


ActiveRecord::Base.logger = Logger.new(STDERR)
ActiveRecord::Base.colorize_logging = true

ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
    :adapter => "sqlite3",
    :dbfile  => "dwemthys.db"
)


ActiveRecord::Schema.define do
    create_table :creatures do |table|
        table.column :life,             :integer
        table.column :strength,         :integer
        table.column :charisma,         :integer
        table.column :weapon,           :integer
    end
end


creature = Creature.create
thufir@arrakis ~/Desktop/dwemthys $ 
thufir@arrakis ~/Desktop/dwemthys $ cat Creature.rb 
require 'Math'

class Creature

Creature.extend Math
include Math

attr_accessor :life, :strength, :charisma, :weapon


def initialize ()
        @life           =       10
        @strength       =       10
        @charisma       =       10
        @weapon         =       10
end

def toString ()
        print "class\t\t"
        print self.class

        print "\nlife\t\t"
        print @life

        print "\nstrength\t"
        print @strength

        print "\ncharisma\t"
        print @charisma

        print "\nweapon\t\t"
        print @weapon
        print "\n"
end
