The documentation specifically says "tuple".  What makes a chunk of data
a tuple is not the parentheses (which are used for grouping), but the
comma.  This is a tuple:

'foo',

This is not a tuple:

('foo')


In any event, I think you'll probably find life with threads easier if
you subclass Thread rather than passing in a function.  This becomes
particularly important when you want to associate data with each thread.
