Having fun with Function.prototype.call

	var topics = ["idea","examples","post some code"];
	//["idea","examples","post some code"]
	topics.shift();
	//"idea"

In javascript, using the .call() method allows you to specify the context of whatever object you pass to it. This allows you to call a string method from an array context, and vice versa.

	topics.shift();
	//"examples"

Check out the following script...

	var arrayObject = ["What", "is", "going", 0,"on", 111,"..", "here"];
	String.prototype.slice.call(arrayObject);
	//"What,is,going,0,on,111,..,here"
	String.prototype.concat.call(arrayObject);
	//"What,is,going,0,on,111,..,here"
	String.prototype.substring.call(arrayObject,1,10)
	//"hat,is,go"
	String.prototype.indexOf.call(arrayObject, "n,111")
	//17
	var stringObject = "Hello";
	Array.prototype.forEach.call(stringObject, function(item){console.log(item)})
	//H
	//e
	//l
	//l
	//o
	Array.prototype.map.call(stringObject, function(item){
	if( item >= "A" && item <= "Z")
	return"U";
	return "L"
	})
	//["U", "L", "L", "L", "L"]
	//Upper and lowercase map for the string!

In all honesty, it may not be a good idea to use these methods, because they aren't supported on these objects, but check out what happens!

	topics.shift();
	//"post some code"

Go nuts and try out some other methods and post them in the comments to see what you come up with.
