A language instructor was explaining to her class that in French, nouns
unlike their English counterparts,are grammatically designated as
masculine or feminine.

"House," in French, is feminine-"la maison."

"Pencil," in French, is masculine-"le crayon."

One puzzled student asked, "What gender is computer?"

The teacher did not know, and the word wasn't in her French dictionary. So
for fun she split the class into two groups appropriately enough, by
gender and asked them to decide whether "computer" should be a masculine
or feminine noun.

Both groups were required to give four reasons for their recommendation.

The men's group decided that computers 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

4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending
half your pay check on accessories for it.

The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine ("le computer"), because:

1. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.

2. They have a lot of data but they are still clueless (LOL .. Pad ?)

3. They are supposed 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'd waited a little
longer, you could have gotten a better model. :rolleyes:

Hi Sofia

No the chat room is no more....and by the look of it the *aggro* has moved on too!

Pad and I use IM now and this suits us both, so we don't bother with ANY of the chat rooms. Looking at all the c**p that is going on in other rooms, I think we will stay as we are thanx

I think Daz and Weims have set up their own room, so maybe you could join them for a chin wag ?

Be happy.
