The Gender Genie?

While doing some morning blog perusing, I found this nifty little gadget that will attempt to tell you the gender of an author by examining the words in a post.  According to the site, Gender Genie is “Inspired by an article and a test in The New York Times Magazine, the Gender Genie uses a simplified version of an algorithm developed by Moshe Koppel, Bar-Ilan University in Israel, and Shlomo Argamon, Illinois Institute of Technology, to predict the gender of an author.  Read more at BookBlog, The New York Times, and The Guardian.”

Isn’t that lovely?  Too bad the damn thing thinks I’m a man.

*hmph!*
