A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her CLASS that in
> Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either
> masculine or feminine. "House" for instance, is
> feminine: "la casa." "Pencil," however, is masculine:
> "el lapiz."
>
> A student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?"
>
> Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the
> class into two GROUPS, male and female, and asked them
> to decide for themselves whether "computer" should be
> a masculine or a 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 ("la
> computadora"), 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; and
>
> 4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find
> yourself spending half your pay check on accessories
> for it.
>
> (THIS GETS BETTER!)
>
>
>
>
> The women's group, however, concluded that computers
> should be Masculine ("el computador"), because:
>
> 1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn
> them on;
>
> 2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for

>
> 3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but

> The women won.

WOOOOOOOOOW awesome
wow this is one kool thing that i've READ in a looooooooong time.Which leaves no doubt that the Spanish teacher was a woman. The Computer is OBVIOUSLY female:

1. It has little memory of previous actions; tries the same thing over and over again even if it doesn't work.

2. Connects to a large network of other computers where they chat all day long in packet-speak.

3 You can play games with it, but you may need to buy it some new toys first. (GPU, RAM, etc.)

Why do you think all the devices with voice (such as phone, gps, etc.) have women's voices?
