It's the end of the world as we know it...

Politics, philosophy, the law, current events, left leaning debates, religion, baseball, football, pop culture, growing up Greek, random events in my life...whatever hits my mind at the time.

Check this out. It tells you if you are male or female. I tried it three times and it was right every time. Cool. Thanks to besmirched for the link.

One for one, and it stated that the passage was overwhelmingly male.

Did you notice the genre choices - fiction, nonfiction, or blog entry? One could presume that they're saying that blog entries are docudramas, but they've probably established the separate category because of the shorthand nature of blog entries.

I think I'll conduct a second test, using text from my (male) parody of an Annie Jacobsen (female) article. Back in a minute.

A second test was conducted. For this test, I used the text from a July 2004 parody of the original Annie Jacobsen article. For the record, the original author was female, and the parodist was male. The initial text stuck close to the original article, but diverged towards the end.

For the record, I indicated that my text had a genre of "fiction."

Gender Genie's results:
Female Score: 1377
Male Score: 1660
The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: male!
