To be honest, I don't go on Whyville enough to buy a Whypass. I never felt that
I should need to spend the money to go on a intentionally free website. I hope they
can afford to stay open without my five bucks! Heh. Anyway, today I got on Whyville
on my second try. I usually get on during my first
try, but I guess Whyville is extra busy these days. I went to Spin Speak to talk
to some of my friends. I have a few good, old friends, and I make new friends
every day! Now, about an hour later I got tired and logged off. That was my Whyville
experience for the day.
As for my sister, Felix62, her experience is quite different. This is how it was described
by her: "I logged on and after about the tenth time, I got on! Finally! Anyway,
I went into Spin Speak to chat it up with anyone. I don't really have good friends
on Whyville. I just talk to anyone who will talk to me! And actually, although I said, 'hi!' and, 'what's
up guys?' numerous amounts of times, I was still ignored!! So I signed off and pouted
up to bed."
After hearing my sister's encounter, I sat down and pondered an idea that was formulating
in my head. Does Whyville let guys on more easily than girls!? My sister and I tested this theory for three days.
We both tried to log in at 9pm on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday. On Monday, I got in on my first try, and Felix62 got in
on her fifth. On Wednesday, I got in on my first try, and Felix62 go in on her
third. And on Friday -- one of the days I find that Whyville is packed -- I got in
on my second try and my sister got in on her sixth.
So, with all this information whirling around in my head, I came up with a
conclusion. Whyville servers let on guys more eaisly than girls because they
want to even out the population. That's what I figured out. I may be right, or I may be completely off-base.
Running off,

Editor's Note: Wow! What a spectacular conclusion! Amazing if true... now,
City Hall assures me (over a half-eaten scone and some scalding hot coffee -- I prefer the
lemonade, myself) that there is no such gender bias in Whyville. Had you done a full-fledged
experiment, with hundreds if not thousands of test cases (you need that many before you can really
call something conclusively proven in a scientific setting!), then we'd have *very* good reason
to wonder. Anybody got enough patience for that experiment?
