Rails - Mar 2006 - Wierd hash being returned from a .find_all call (usingmySQL)

I was following a basic todo list tutorial, and when I call a:

  @items = Listing.find_all
  render_text @items.inspect

The following is displayed in my browser, and clues?...

[#"Don", "category"=>"Human",
"id"=>"1", "hidden"=>"0"}>,
#"Cheese",
"category"=>"Food", "id"=>"2",
"hidden"=>"1"}>, #"Hat",
"category"=>"Head", "id"=>"3",
"hidden"=>"0"}>]

I''m getting funky symbols in the hash thats being returned... I
searched
everywhere for a similar problem and I can''t find anything.
