The difference between Polymorphism and Dynamic-Typing is essentially
that the former is done at compile-time and the latter at runtime.  The
similarity between them; however, is that they more-or-less do the same
thing.

So, to be technical, Ruby is _not_ a Polymorphic language.  That being
said, Dynamic Typing make Ruby act Polymorphic.
