From Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby:
"Think of it [the argument list] as an inner tube the method is pulling along, containing its extra instructions. The parentheses form the wet, round edges of the inner tube. The commas are the feet of each argument, sticking over the edge. The last argument has its feet tucked under so they don't show."
