It's a formal and direct explanation of the "Everything is and
Object". In the sense of "Turtles all the way down" not "I'm my own
grandpa!".

Review the syntax and experiment in irb with class, superclass,
ancestors on your own custom classes as well as the built in types
such as array, integers, strings. See if you can figure out how to
identify the methods associated within the inheritance chain at each
level from the instance methods to the class methods to the
superclasses methods and so forth.

Good luck
