Das habe ich gerade per mail gekriegt und finde es ganz gut

A 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.
