Brian Marick wrote interesting article about variables and objects.

"The key to avoiding misunderstanding is remembering that variables and
objects are *different kinds of things*. The name of a thing is not the
thing itself. This is best illustrated by pictures. I just drew some
pictures that explain what was happening in your example. (I simplified to
make it just one each, since the nested eaches don't have anything to do
with the problem you had.) They are here:

them, plus I stayed up way too late to make them, so you all have to look at
them."
