Men are from Mars, Women don’t get The Matrix
I am not one of those MCP type guys who look down upon women. In fact I am highly appreciative of the fairer sex and believe they should be treated as equals.
This is despite the fact that they can get extremely annoying while you are watching your fave sci-fi cult movie by asking the most insane questions and refusing to buy your perfectly articulate explanations:
W: So who is that person?
S: That is the Oracle.
W: Oh my! They still need a Relational Database Management System in the future. Hmm…
S: Haha. The humour. Biting…
W: <Smug>
S: No she is is actually this computer program… in the Matrix… that you know can see the future and all… She helps Neo on his mission.
W: If she can see the future then what is the point yaar…
S: No I mean she can’t see EVERYTHING obviously. Just some things. And its not like everything she says comes true or anything. Neo can change the future if he wants to…
W: I dont see what is the big deal really. Clearly she is a sapient program that is more deterministic in her approach to foresee the future than actually dictate further action and events. Sort of a soft, tolerant rogue program that slightly accomodates errant sub-programs within the larger program architecture…
S: (Quietly contemplating on his decision to discuss the nuances of the Matrix with someone who has a degree in Information Technology.)
W: Let’s watch Lage Raho
S: Ok!
But apart from slight foibles like that women are cool.
But try telling Dick Masterson that. Dick has this bizarre blog called “Men are Better than Women” that, on further reading I discovered to my surprise, is all about one gender being better than the other. (Disclaimer: Not always pleasant or warm reading. But all text and safe for office perusal.)
As for me I think I am happy with the world the way it is. For considering that most men act like this, we don’t want to piss women off altogether.
God knows, they may all end up being able to do this one day.
Off course that does means more time with the Playstation on the weekends.
(General Marriage Sustaining Disclaimer: The W in the above exchange stands for “Woman besides wife” and that S stands for “Some guy but not Sidin”.)
Ah. PS3… you must try the F1 Championship Edition. And I gave up watching sci-fi a long time ago. What’s the point of watching Matrix if the W is going to say “Why is she dressed so badly?” when Trinity is clearly fighting to save Neo… alas and alak!
I think a simple general rule will give peace between S & W
While watching movies - Keep the logic in the bank locker with triple gateway security system…..
I conveniently accidentally by mistake overlooked the word ‘not’ in the first line of this post. Then the second line seemed completely opposite to what I read in the first - so I went back and read the first line twice and then realized there was a ‘not’ in there!
Crazy, no?
I don’t remember anyone but Keanu Reeves in The Matrix. Him and his super cool goggles. too much it was!
And yes, I believe you - S is some guy but not you, and W is woman besides wife.
Well..I kinda expected something like that “S is some guy but not you, and W is woman besides wife.” as i read thru the conversation..
someone’s been doing a lot of research on Discovery News
hehehe hilarious links dude!
Dude, pls update the links in your blog roll.Sometimes it lead to dead ends.
Someone had once told me : No woman worth her salt is expected to remember the names of grand prix winners, understand matrix and love star treck. how true.
Well..it could have been some husbad and wife. same story all over.
So true, So true.
Let us not even begin to consider W Vs Star Trek.
Or W Vs Star Wars.
Or W Vs the Blade trilogy. That is, of course, if you ignore the W comment @ ‘Ooh Will Smith has a cut butt. What do you mean thats not Will Smith’…
And I’m laughing my nadgers off @ Nidhee’s comment. Good one!
I did mean ‘Cute’ butt.
haha.. love the PS
haha
i really dont get the matrix :p
read all your blogs…awesome stuff and hilarious
not true sidin…women do get the matrix :))
loved the PS :))
Seconding Arunima.. Women DO get The Matrix and it’s sequels might I add.
But obviously, this is about some woman not your wife who didn’t want to..
Still matrix is a very philosophical movie.. Maybe ’some man not sidin’ might find that those aspects might interest ’some woman not his wife ‘ more than the bike chases, black clothes and bullet dodging Slow Mo..
hey…this one was so cool…still laughing
and ya…whatay new card 
Amazing dude.. too good.. I meant “the Matrix” - the movie.. Jus kidding.. u Rock !
