Curiouser and curiouser

Just because I'm wasting a few minutes before going to bed, I tried another selection into the Gender Genie, this time from one of my archeology papers, which, in my opinion, has some of the dryest most gender neutral voices possible.

The text used:

Plumware appears in a variety of different sizes with similar overall features, as well as some completely different shapes. Larger examples have a typical diameter of 60cm with a height of about the same. Their shape is described as having a "well-defined" neck with a "beveled ledge rim" and have ring bases. Aside from their longer, narrower, neck and larger size, their decoration is the same, with alternating panels of geometric motifs and plastic ridges with studs around the neck. Some vessels have a more pronounced carination or a second carination below the neck. (Delougue 48-51) Other types of Jemdet Nasr pottery found with plumred paint are conical bowls, shallow open bowls, and jar caps, to name a few. (Ehrich 100)

And weirdly, I'd thought for sure it would be male, but it's female. So fiction=female, non-fiction=male isn't particularly accurate, either. The whole things highly suspect. cesperanza says it's a crock, and I think I'm totally agreeing with her.

When I plugged in my first-person male fic, it came out male; then I did a first-person female fic and it came out female. I therefore choose to believe that this Gender Genie is wise and all-knowing.

LOL! Hmm, I didn't try any first-person. Do I even have any 1st person fics? *ponders* I have two, a Kirk piece and a Janeway piece. Both came out female. heh. I'm not at all surprised.

Are you around this afternoon? Like, after 2? I seek those who would have coffee.

Sadly, no. I actually had to go to work today to make up for the days lost. *sob* Mayhaps next week?

Next week is good. I get off work Thursday at 2 and don't have to go back until Tuesday. Sweet.
