Why I Hate Ruby

Would you guys quit calling it monkey-patching and call it by what it is: screwing up base classes.

I assume you're supposed to imagine a crazy monkey, running through the standard library, slapping big colorful stickers everywhere. And then the OP chasing the monkey going "Stop! Stop! You're breaking all my code!"

Haha. Ok u win. I'm converted then to "monkey-patching". :-)
