Maybe it's by activity in the last few minutes.  If someone left 5 minutes ago, maybe it will still display that someone is in there because it hasn't checked again yet.

You may not know this, but it is a fact, that in Spanish, the word “computer” is actually feminine: “computadora”.

So I asked a Spanish friend of mine to explain the reasons for it (in Portuguese, for instance – another gender based language – “computer” is actually masculine “computador”).

He was very firm: “simple, computers are female”.

“How come?”, I asked.  And here are the reasons he gave me:

1.   As soon as you get one a better one appears.
2.   No one, besides the creator, can understand its internal logic.
3.   Even the smallest mistakes you commit are stored in the memory for future reference.
4.   The language used for communication between computers is ununderstandable to everyone except computers.
5.   The information “Bad command” or “bad file name” carries as much useful information as, say, “If you don’t know why I am upset I am not about to tell you”
6.   The moment you commit yourself to a computer – no matter which brand – you will spend a fortune buying accessories for it.
7.   The computer processes information with great speed, but is incapable of thinking.
8.   Your friend’s (or neighbour’s) computer is always better than yours.
9.   Computers do not do anything unless you order them to.
10.   Computers always crash in the best moments.

My friend asked not to reveal his name of whereabouts. ;D

Best wishes,
Bernhard.

The word piddled in relation to yourself actually inspires more than one thought. And if that 's a self portrait of mayla, ahd really like to meet her in real life 8)

Well, if women are such problems for men (poor guys, not up to the challenge I guess  :'( ), I suppose men should simply find a way to live without us  ;D

Good luck with that one, guys  :-*

Playing basketball against Michael Jordan is a challenge. Running the 100 meter dash against olympic athletes is a challenge. Hell, commuting to work and not getting splattered, t-boned, or sandwiched to death by a tracktor trailer is a challenge.

Women... are unnecessarily diffucult 8)

Women are like jumping out of a forth story window... ;D


even if you manage to walk away its still gonna hurt like hell ???

They're like choosing between your right arm and your left testicle.

They're like death by fire or falling hail.

They're hey.. do ah wanna laydown in the middle of the interstate on a black rainy night or have some eight year old fat kid kick me in the nuts so that when ah bend over mah head sticks right out in front of a moving subway car
