I feel so transparent

So, lots of folks I know have been tweetfaceplusblogging about the hilariously inaccurate summary of them offered by Google's new Ad Preferences thingy. So, I had a look at mine, and this is what I got:

Your categories

Your demographics
We infer your age and gender based on the websites you've visited. You can remove or edit these at any time.
Age: 25-34
Gender: Female

The age is slightly off; they've confused strength training with bodybuilding; and I have lots of interests that don't appear in that list. But on the whole, that fails to be hilariously inaccurate. Bah. I'll have to get my Friday giggles by googling "goths up trees" or something.

Apparently my best friend is a 25-34-year-old female bodybuilder.

His wife will be SO surprised.

Snerk. And I thought that I was supposed to be afraid that lifting weights would make me look "masculine".
