That does its (perfectly useless) thing on Linux, but on Windows it
emits all this drama:

Q:\work\flea>ruby modness.rb
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.7/tk.rb:1030:in `__invoke': unknown option
"-kind_of" (RuntimeError)
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.7/tk.rb:1030:in `_invoke'
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.7/tk.rb:709:in `tk_call'
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.7/tk.rb:2498:in `configure'
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.7/tk.rb:2447:in `method_missing'
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.7/tk.rb:3615:in `initialize'
        from modness.rb:4:in `new'
        from modness.rb:4

Not sure how such a small program could crash so big.

I run ruby173-6.exe from Pragmatic Programmers. Should I just get a
less bleeding-edge distro?
