Computer Gender....joke

Computer Gender

> A language instructor was explaining to her class that in

> "House", in French, is feminine - "la maison"
> "Pencil", in French, is masculline - "le crayon"

> One puzzled student asked, "What gender is computer?"
> The teacher did not know, and the word wasn't in her French

> Both groups were required to give four reasons for their

> The men's group decided that computers should definitely be

> 1. No one but their creater 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
