# = Top 100 Greatest Movie Characters Scraper
# This program just scrapes the empire online 100 
# greatest movie characters web site (http://www.empireonline.com/100-greatest-movie-characters/)
# and generates a simple page to display all the 
# characters on one page so you don't have to go 
# clicking through 100 pages
#
# This was just built b/c I'd rather learn something new
# during the time it took me to view all 100 characters
# and still get to see who they are.  I'm too lazy to click

# This code just takes multiparamter inputs from a form and strings them together to 
# create dash separated date string.  The purpose behind this is because sometimes if
# a user doesn't fill in all the date drop downs in a form, you might get an invalid date
# The folowing code was repurposed from ActiveRecord::Base from a few of the mutliparamter 
# assignment methods
