Gender Genie

Gender Genie is a neat little toy that will take a text, perform a word frequency analysis, and identify whether the author is male or female. So far, it has successfully identified the authors of "Hamlet" and of one of mathowie's longer posts as men, and the authors of "Frankenstein" and of one of jessamyn's longer posts as women. On the other hand, it identified the longest thing I ever posted to Metafilter as being written by a woman.

It thinks I'm a man, but my passage had to do with sports. I deliberately tried to trick it.
