If you are not a nerd or you do not appreciate nerdy jokes, you can stop reading now.
Here goes:
A Spanish class is given the task of chosing a gender for the word
"computer".
The men's group decided that ''computer'' should definitely be
of the feminine gender (''la computer''), 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 paycheck on accessories for it.
The women's group, however, concluded that computers should
be Masculine (''el computer''), 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 themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the
time they ARE the problem; and
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.
God I'm such a loser for blogging something like this ta 12:17am.
