The Gender Genie

Here's a bizarre web site - they reckon that they can tell the gender of the author of a passage of text simply by analysing the distribution of certain key words. Clearly a fun thing to paste in people's blog entries to see how they turn out (two out of three of mine, excluding this one, seem to show I'm female which doesn't give me a lot of confidence in the method - although to be fair it says it really requires 500 or more words to be effective).
