I made a Ruby program to generate future Ubuntu names

I made a Ruby program that will generate names for the future Ubuntu releases up to 10.10. If somebody wants to expand it, feel free. The code is below, but here is some sample output:

9.10 Kinky Kitten o.o

[tamoneya]

i think opera would be a little unhappy if we took kestrel since they are currently using that on their beta.

[elmer_42]

I just grabbed all of these from here (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames).

-- 8.10 --
Incendiary Irritator

not sure this one will be adopted!
:-)

[cardinals_fan]

Moonlight Muskox!

[tamoneya]

it would be awesome if they actually used lemming on L.

[Glaxed]

LOL!
Nice one dude.

What does it use as a database?

What does it use as a database?

Manually defined arrays

[elmer_42]

Yeah, sorry I didn't see your post, but it just uses names I copied from the Wiki and pasted into the program. I'm not nearly 1337 enough to make something that would get the names from the internet. Although, some people in Freenode on #ruby probably could.
