# I don't know if the guide goes on to address these points,

if 4 > 5
  # ruby programmers tend to use 2 spaces instead of 4 for indentation
  # also, even though it's confusing, you'll generally use "puts" instead of "print"
  puts "I'm soooo wrong it's painful"

# I like to avoid using parentheses to group things, so I'd rewrite what you had as:
#elsif 4 > 5 != true

class Array
  # This method reads from the DATA section of this file, which
  # in Ruby is marked by __END__. It takes each line and pushes
  # it into the calling array, yields the code block and writes 
  # the array, one element per line, to the end of the file,
  # starting at the beginning of the DATA block. Idea stolen
  # from O'Reilly's Perl Cookbook.

# receives no input and produces a copy of its own source code as its
# only output.

# to see if there are any known aliases it can add. It then prints the
