That just means you're one of the lucky. For those with older browsers 
and javascript versions that don't support it (then typeof Object.create 
is not "function", but "undefined"), this snippets adds (a part of) the 
functionality of the native Object.create (see also 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/create/).
