Try to think about it this way:
Object is a concept ("a thing")
Cl*** is a concept ("a representation in ruby of realworld concepts")

In ruby, we use objects (things) of kind 'Cl***' to represent the
concepts. Thus the thingy 'Object' is of kind 'Cl***' and is used to
represent the concept of object. The thingy 'Cl***' is again of type
'Cl***' and is used to represent the ruby concept of a "concept that
represents the concept of 'concept'" (This makes it a meta-concept).

Thus in Ruby "Object" and "Cl***" are concept thingies, represented as
objects (thingies) of kind "Cl***". As for the number of methods, the
cl***-concept is a bit more specific than the generic "thingy" concept,
and therefore has an extra method.

I have probably confused you more. See the 'ruby object model"
presentation on "WhyRuby.rubyforge.org".
