[MLUG] my son's first program

[Mike Miller <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

OK, just bragging that my 13-year-old son can write a little ruby script 
now.  He wrote the code entirely on his own but I changed the indenting to 
make it easier to read.  It won't win any prizes, but it works as intended 
and it is kinda funny.  I like the prediction that "You will meet a 
strange man in a small allyway who will sell you a turban for an inflated 
price. If you accept, you will recieve a 42" flatscreen plasma tv!"  That 
Chris Pine tutorial...

...definitely works.  --Mike

   puts 'You will awaken from a drunken haze to find yourself working a temp job playing the piano at a jewelry and fine penguine skin store.'
