The Biggest Candyland In The World

I love America. Have been there many times, to many parts, but always feel more at home in California. Whatever my intended destination was, I always made a point of at least stopping over in there, near San Francisco, even if just for a few days.

I was there just 4 years ago, to see the very unique and world famous Lombard street (the crooked street) converted into the biggest Candyland in the world. It was to celebrate the 60th birthday of this popular table game. The street was painted in many enormous rectangles of colours, so that all the children can participate in the game in it's gigantic version.

Candyland is apparently more than a game in America. It's a cultural icon. The popularity of the game is due to it's simplicity, that doesn't even require the player knowing how to read, enough just to know how to count a few numbers.

Like most games, what's required more than anything else is imagination.

Is Computer Feminine Or Masculine?

Well I think the computer is bisexual if, unlike the English language, nouns are designated as masculine or feminine as in most Latin languages.

I will prove my theory by examples and back them up giving 4 reasons to each gender to demonstrate it.

It should definitely be feminine, 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 pay-cheque on accessories for it.

It should be defined as masculine, because:

1. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on;

2. They have a lot of data but they are still clueless;

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'd waited a little longer, you could have got a better model.

There you have it. It's bisexual.
