For the sake of being pedantic, I believe your code still does have a 
bug.  You bug is that you rely on the "str()" of a boolean value 
returning a specific string.  Your code should probably check the bool 
and create your own string rather than relying on this behaviour 
remaining unchanged forever.

In fact, in Python 2.4, I heard you will get this behaviour:

Python 2.4a0 (#46, Jul 31 2003, 10:15:54) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on 
win32
 >>> True
'Does a bear shit in the woods?'
