Rails - Sep 2005 - aliasing AR`s find method

Hi
In my pursuit for adding some extra features to AR`s find method, i 
first (tried) aliasing it and thats where i am still stuck at.
First i  aliased the method

class Sample < ActiveRecord::Base

	class << self
	alias :old_find :find
	end
end


Sample.find(:all) and Sample.old_find(:all) both return the same results
good.
next,

class Sample < ActiveRecord::Base

	class << self
	alias :old_find :find
	end

	def self.find(*args)
	self.old_find(args)
	end
end

Now Sample.old_find works fine but Sample.find just freezes everything.
My hunch is that self.old_find(args) is not the right way of passing the 
  arguments.
If it is so or otherwise, please enlighten me
thanx in advance

for those as stupid as me, it should have been old_find(*args)
