When you call, myThread.start(), you will get the "MyThread:start()" message.

When you call, thread.start(), the new thread will call the run() method of your runnable, and you will get the "MyRunnable:run()" message.

Runnable interface has only one method, public void run(). Even if the runnable object has a public void start() method, it doesn't get into picture. But the if Thread object has a public void start() it does come into picture and affect how thread is submitted for run.
