Most interesting (but understandable):

| >>> print(42..__class__)
| <class 'float'>

BTW, another common misconception that I read from your argument is that 
“object-oriented” would be synonymous with “class-based”; that one needs a 
class for OOP.  In fact, however, there are several object-oriented 
programming languages, again for example most ECMAScript implementations, 
that are prototype-based: one object/instance inherits from another, its 
prototype.
