there's more to the internet than L word on youtube

I live in a slightly scary world where synchronized breathing is a fetishized desire for atleast two people I know. Believe you me, it does strange things to your breathing pattern to know this.. for one it makes you aware of breathing in a way that two years of yoga hasn't done (even strange brahmin-ish men intoning -breathe iiiiiiinnnnn, breaaaathe oooouuuuuut). Secondly you do wonder if in some way you are not human or not capable of real connection. Because my breathing atleast never syncs with anyone; obviously I would never have made it to a water ballet team.

Anyway in the context of that piece of information this comic strip is hysterical. Its anal, snarky and synchronized. Yeah to those to whom form matters as much as person!!! Including my two friends.

And then there is blog trawling which I'm as addicted to as L word on youtube. So I find this test on a blog (but not just an annoying self-figuring-out test), called the Gender Genie that apparently scrubs the text (of all possible proper nouns) and on the basis of relational words such as conjunctions and the use of articles, determines the gender of the person.

Ofcourse my score when I dumped a poem of mine into the scary box, said
(Hmmmm...)
Male: 65
Female : 55
The author is male!!!

And when I put in a poem by a straight male poet it said
(Ahaaaaa... no androgyny here)
Female: 83
Male: 42
The author is female!!!!!

I'm thinking a simpler test like does the person talk a lot about shoes and haircuts and clothes would have been more effective.


ps: how does the tv handle so much mallika sherawat without imploding?
