  # build the adjustment lambda
  edit = "lambda { |method_string| method_string"
  adjustments.each { |k,v| edit += ".gsub('#{k}', '#{v}')" }
  edit += "}"

  # then get some of that overflow goodness
  answer = url.split('#').last
  @doc ||= Nokogiri::HTML Curl.get(url).body_str
  @doc.css("#answer-#{answer} code").each do |code|
    # Oh yeah, it's lambda time! Eval the edit string, pass it the overflow code
    # and eval the resulting lambda
    return eval eval(edit).call code.content
