Toy Time: Boys will be ... Girls?

Kath's comment in our last post reminded us that many people think it's Johnny who does all the wordy stuff on this blog. Not the case. In fact, that last one was written almost entirely by Bec. Usually they're a one-person effort, with an "editorial" check-over by the other "team member" before we hit the big red button.

It is true that in general however, Johnny does the words and Bec the pretty pictures. And here's the proof, courtesy of the really-quite-nifty GenderAnalyzer.com - point it at somebody's blog and it'll use clever computery stuff (the internet is on computers now!) to work out whether the author is male or female. Here's our result:



Nice! Johnny is pleased to have his masculinity noted :-) Especially as almost all of our travelling-friend blogs (on the right) seem to be filled with girly-girly girl-germs - some highlights:

Andy is a woman, albeit right on the fence at 50%

Brett and Belinda (is?/are?) all woman with 60% confidence. Must ... resist ... commenting ... :-)

Dave and Kristy is written, as far as we know, entirely by Kristy, and this tallies with a 52% certainty.

GenderAnalyzer nails it again with Krista And Mike's Blog which is almost all Krista-powered - 53%.

Cool huh?

Cool! I'm 57% man! Err, maybe I should have worded that better...

Kath said...

Sorry Bec!! I thought you left all the typing to John usually. I feel bad now!

Ok, well, BOTH of you write very well. :)

I'm 59% man baby! Matty - put that in your pipe and smoke it ;-)

Bec and John said...

Wow! A man-baby! Accurate! ;-)

Bec and John said...

Not to worry Kath, I take it as a compliment to my writing skills that you can't tell the difference! :) Bec

@Bec and John - that's where punctuation would have come in handy (a comma between man and baby) ;-)
