  1. I doubt I can beat Lanikai K's answer...


  2. I received this email recently.

    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 paycheck 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 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.

    The women won.


  3. i suspect that my computer is probably male because it always touches itself when it thinks no one is looking, also whenever i check the history it is always full of p**n

  4. gonna go with female. We used to get to stick our floppies in but now we don't even get to do that any more. They often mess your life up and its ridiculously hard to get it to do the things you want it to do. They are often obstinate and won't do anything until you verify everything a gajillion times. And if you don't answer the questions it poses correctly, it will break down and its near impossible to get it working again...

  5. They are Asexual, like an amoeba.

  6. good question =p

  7. FEMALE.

    in spanish it's : comPUTAdoraa!

    aahahaha.

    :)

  8. i think male because i have to do three or four things before i get what i ask for

  9. Female, definately. They're hard to deal with and annoying at times, but if you do the right things in at the right time, you'll keep coming back

  10. neither!!!!! just because

  11. It depends if they work well most likely male. If tempermantal then you can bet on female.

    i know i just scored a ton of points with all the ladies:}

  12. they are women because women are smarter than men..=P

  13. Its hard to tell. They are male because it takes an outer force to make them do anything, but female because they can b*tch and act out at any point in time, especially when something is really important.  

  14. Most non human things are females like cars, boats, motorcyles, you could say a computer if your a nerd

  15. Consider the receptacle for a power cord on the back.

  16. Neither. They are like their own s*x.  :)

  17. It could be either or, they both get turned on the same way...

    :))

  18. female
