Fixed: I mispelt initialize.

I've created 'dude', a gem which overrides exceptions to make them more Lebowski-y.

The code is on github and the gem is on rubygems. The relevant code is in dude.rb, which reads as follows:

class Exception
  def intialize(message)
 @message = message

@nthmost @mcmoots There's no winning with some people, and this stuff is complex.

I recently read bell hooks' [Understanding Patriarchy](http://imaginenoborders.org/pdf/zines/UnderstandingPatriarchy.pdf) in which she deftly explains what patriarchy is and how it hurts women and men. I don't think the anti-misandrists really grok the whole (patri|kyri)archy thing, they just feel a sense of powerlessness which they attribute to a loss of privilege because straw feminists took it away.

bell hooks definition of patriarchy is: "a political-social system that insists that males are inherently dominating, superior to everything and everyone deemed weak, especially females, and endowed with the right to dominate and rule over the weak and to maintain that dominance through various forms of psychological terrorism and violence." Kyriarchy, as I understand it, is pretty much this same system of social conditioning and control, with the lens of multiple axes of control and submission–so instead of just having gender a

  When I was born, my parents named me B_____ Daniel Strand.* I went by this name in childhood,
as a teenager, and as a young adult. While I was in college, I began using Livejournal, and used
strand as my handle there. I also preferred that people call me Strand then, but told people that
they could refer to me by my last name or my former first name at the time.

  A few years after I graduated college, after working several jobs where colleagues and
coworkers called me Strand, I had my name legally changed to B Strand. I realized almost
immediately afterwards that I would have mad my life easier had I adopted the name Be Strand,
as many computer systems do not accept B as a first name. (I was unable to use Priceline at one
time, though they have since fixed this bug.)

Feature: Providing passwords at the command line
	As a person I need to generate memorable passwords at the command line
	In order to have unique passwords anywhere I use them.

Scenario: Simple password
	Given the user calls 'dynamo'
	Then the program returns a simple passphrase

Scenario: Complex password
	Given the user calls 'dynamo --complex'
