This is a static initializer. It is run once when the class is first
loaded, and is typically used for setting up the values of static fields.

The static code block gets called the first time a class is loaded.

This addresses the age old question: when should I initialize my static
variables? In a constructor? Somewhere else?

Well, the answer is simple: in a static code block.
