Why Object.toString !== Object.prototype.toString ??

[justsomeguy]

Object is treated as a function, and Object.prototype is treated as an object.

Object.toString();

"

function Object() { [native code] }

"

Object.prototype.toString();

"

[object Object]

"

They're references to different methods.The first method, Object.toString() is a function that shows a string representation of Object() while Object.prototype.toString() is a method that all instances (copies) of Object() have. Normally, if you create your own object, you override the toString() method to make it show what you want it to.
