Go ahead, test it. Sure, the puts works, but what are the actual array 
elements going to be? Try this after running get_array:

$input_array.map(&:class)

If you didn't intend those to be actual events, what is the point of defining 
them that way?

Oh, and while your original point is true:

I'd argue you're not a Ruby programmer, and you've missed the whole point of 
Ruby, if you're using that many globals.
