The German word Mädchen ("girl") is treated grammatically as neuter because it was constructed as the diminutive of Magd (maidservant; archaic nowadays), and the diminutive suffix -chen conventionally places nouns in the "neuter" noun. But that I know is definately off topic!
I am also not so good with the english gendered words...we seem to have changed them all to neuter or gotten rid of the altogether.
