There was a time when Milo tried to guess the sex of each of the folks who had submitted a defintion to Hogwash. He was right about half the time. Signigficantly, he guessed his own sex wrong. There is a program out there somewhere that purports to be able to determine the sex of the author from a large enough sample of text. We had discussed it here. Perhaps someone has it bookmarked and we can drag it back up.
