Gender in the English Language

You might not have known this... as in other languages a lot of inanimate objects in English have a gender. Yes they are either male or female.

Here are some examples:

FREEZER BAGS: They are male, because they hold everything in... but you can see right through them.
	PHOTOCOPIERS: These are female, because once turned off... it takes a while to warm them up again They are an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed... but can also wreak havoc if you push the wrong buttons.
TYRES: Tyres are male, because they go bald easily and are often over inflated.
	HOT AIR BALLOONS: Also a male object... because to get them to go anywhere... you have to light a fire under their arse.
SPONGES: These are female... because they are soft... squeezable and retain water.
	WEB PAGES: Female... because they're constantly being looked at and frequently getting hit on.
TRAINS: Definitely male... because they always use the same old lines for picking up people.
	EGG TIMERS: Egg timers are female because... over time... all the weight shifts to the bottom.
HAMMERS: Male... because in the last 5000 years... they've hardly changed at all... and are occasionally handy to have around.
	THE REMOTE CONTROL: Female. Ha! You probably thought it would be male... but consider this: A man would be lost without it... and while he doesn't always know which buttons to push... he just keeps trying.
