Creating A Thread - Unexpected Output

Java Code:

package Threads;
public class Threads1 implements Runnable {
public void run(){
System.out.println("
* * * * *
");
}
public static void main(String[] args) {

[code]...

Java Code:

new Thread(new Threads1()).start(); mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

should execute the thread associated with the run() and then the control should return to the next statement in the calling thread (the thread from which the other thread (associated with run()) was called); isn't it?
