What is your COMPUTER!!!

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.

'So, a student asked, 'What gender is 'computer'?

'Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class intotwo 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 othercomputers is incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory forpossible later retrieval;
and4. 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 beMasculine ('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 thetime they ARE the problem;
and4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you hadwaited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

Now what do you think the computer should be called?

Who is Balakrishnan Kuppuswamy!?

During work, Raman and Narayan were chatting:

Raman: Narayan, I've been attending night classes for 5 months now and I have an exam next week.

Narayan: Oh!

Raman: For example, do you know who is Graham Bell?

Narayan: No.

Raman: He's the inventor of the phone in 1876; if you take night courses, you would know this.The next day, the same discussion took place:

Raman: Do you know who Alexander Dumas is?

Narayan: No.

Raman: He's the author of "The 3 Musketeers"; if you take night courses, you would know this.The next day, once again:

Raman: And do you know who Jean Jacques Rousseau is?

Narayan: No.

Raman: He's the author of "Confessions"; if you take night courses, you would know this.
This time, Narayan got irritated and said: And you, do you know who is Balakrishnan Kuppuswamy?

Raman: No!!!

Narayan: He's the guy roaming with your wife!! If you stop taking night courses, only then you would know.

“Rule: There is ‘some thing’ more important in life than Work and General Knowledge.
