    A language teacher tried to explain the thing with"gender" too his students.
    For example , the teacher pointed out, boats, airplanes and hurricanes are called "she". One of the students asked what gender a computer has and the teacher made this to the days task to find out. He put his class in two groups, one with girls and one with boys. The task was to give the computer a gender and motivate why.


    The girls came to the conclusion that its definitely a "he" because:
    1. They know alot, but rarely knows how to use their talents without getting instructions.
    2. They are supposed to help with solving problems, but half the time they are the biggest problem.
    3. Too get their attention you first have to get them on.
    4. A soon as you've gotten one, you know that if you've waited a little longer you could have gotten a better one.


    The boys on the other hand, regarded a computor as a "she" because:
    1. No one, exept its creator, can understand the built in logic.
    2. The language a computer uses to comunicate with another computer is unintelligible for everyone who is'nt a computer.
    3. The sligtest misstake is stored in a longtime memory and is going to be a big problem long after.
    4. As soon as you've gotten one, your going to have to put half your wages on more or less necessary parts.
    So what gender is a computer?

    Its mad how some people can ascribe a gender to inanimate objects.

    My car is a fella, but for good reasons-big and strong and gives you the feeling of safety. My house is a girl-theres a lot more to it than you can see at first glance. And what about that sense thing where certain colours come when you taste something etc-what is that called?

    Got to be honest, not sure if this will get past the swear filter, but my computer is a illegitimate child....sex not involved.

    My present vehicle is male. My hifi system is a illegitimate child. My tele is a illegitimate child, and so are the 5 cats.:D

    I don't know about the computer, but the toilet is definitely female. I had to replace the diaphragm in the flushing mechanism today.

    I have two laptops, one is lazy and slow but good for entertainment and the other one is quick and willing but doesn't like to mess around. I don't know what to make of that...
