# KickTheTires
Provides some basic methods/assertions that are handy for exploring a new ruby library.
Sometimes when you hear about a new library/gem you just wat to kick the
-kick_the_tires to see what it can do. Sometimes you start with some REPL

asserts/refutes/shows to explore the library's objects and method results.
When you have finished kicking the tires you may want to take the library out

You would never buy a used car without first kicking the tires and taking it
for a spin. Why would you start using a new gem without playing with it for
a while?

+take a look at this public file. I was looking at how I might be able to
+use wordnet (brew/yum install wordnet) through the 'words gem (gem install words).' After I had worked with it a while I decided to write some application-like code so you should see around line #7 where I decided to 'take_it_for_a_spin' which deactivated the subsequent asserts/refutes/shows. My application-like code starts after line #100.
