Does Ruby have block comments?

If not, is there an efficient way of inserting # in front of a block of highlighted code in TextMate?

You can do

=begin
  [Multi line comment]
=end

=begin and =end must be at the beginning of the line (not indented at all).

Also, in TextMate you can press Command + / to toggle regular comments on a highlighted block of code.
