the first thing i do when i get an error is spell-check :P

anyway, when i run it i get:

 irb(main):001:0> 1.respond_to? :define_singleton_method
=> true
irb(main):002:0> 1.methods.include?(:define_singleton_method)
=> true
irb(main):003:0> 1.define_singleton_method(:new_method){}
TypeError: can't define singleton
        from (irb):3:in `define_singleton_method'
        from (irb):3
        from C:/Ruby192/bin/irb:12:in `<main>'
irb(main):004:0>

it's prolly to protect the coolness of integers & stuff, as from what i
understand all the basic integers are pre-defined & immutable.
