In Spanish nouns are either masculine or feminine, a class of students was asked if they thought a computer was masculine or feminine.
The mens group decided computers were feminine 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 the long-term memory for possible use later.
4 As soon as you commit to one you spend half your money buying accessories for it.
the womens group decided computers were male because
1 In order to do anything with them you have to turn them on
2 They have lots of data but cannot think for themselves
3 they are supposed to solve problems but usually ARE the problem
4 As soon as you commit to one you realise that had you waited you could have found a much better model.
THE WOMEN won
