Computer Gender

Someone was broadcasting me through blackberry last night =)
and it's quite interesting,

A student asked, "What gender is computer?" Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male & female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer should be a masculine / feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.

The men's group decided that computer should definitely be of the feminine gender, because :
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic.
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
3. Even! the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval.
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.


( THIS GETS BETTER! )

The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine, because :
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on.
2. They have a lot of datas but still can't think for themselves.
3. They are suppossed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem,
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.


The women won ;)
