I suppose this was meant as a joke, but I intend to use "Ninja-Patching" from now on instead of that other phrase, the one actually invented by Python programmers."

But i must agree somewhat :-)
I think whenever someone mentions monkey patching from now on, I will refer to ninja patching. Sounds a lot better.

I personally favor "slapmethoding", which is entry #3 in _why's Complete List Of Substitute Names For The Maneuver We Now Know To Be Monkeypatching.
Being a Python developer, I have no strong feelings either way on this post, but I like your writing style!

My apologies, I'm still new to Ruby so I'm sure this could be nicer. I couldn't figure out a decent way to determine if a class is defined (it must be staring me right in the face), and the thread was the only way I could get it to work regardless of the require ordering.
Needless to say I enjoyed this post!
One other thing: I lost my comment the first time I submitted because I was prompted about OpenID. I am not a fan of that behaviour :/

Paul: sorry about the lost comment. I'm increasingly not a fan of WordPress, period.
