type = "number" in this case (so isBool is false).  If you change it to "aThing 
= false", or "aThing = "hi mom"", you'll get "boolean" and "string" 
respectively.  (you can also check for arrays and objects this way, I think).

There are thousands of websites devoted to teaching JS so you can make gaudy 
animated cursors on webpages and whatnot -- you can glean a ton from such 
sources.
