THE COMPUTER!

Post by RCK »

Got this today, damn chain emails, but funny though
-------------

A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns
are designated as either masculine or feminine. e.g. '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 twogroups, 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 ordenador'), 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.

REALITY - BACK TO BASICS
The Original Computer







Memory was something you lost with age
An application was for employment
A program was a TV show
A cursor used profanity


A keyboard was a piano
A web was a spider's home
A virus was the flu
A CD was a bank account

A hard drive was a long trip on the road
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived

And if you had a 3 inch floppy.


You just hoped nobody ever found out?
