False is true... on Javascript

I've been reading a lot about Javascript recently, and I want to share this little piece of code that, if you are a programmer, will cause a lot of confussion to you when you test it:

var myBoolean = new Boolean(false);
if (myBoolean) {
alert(myBoolean);
}

In case you want to know why this happens I recommend you to take a look at some of the lectures from Douglas Crockford that I already introduced in a previous article.
