<p>His and hers is a marketing term to describe a product in two variations each lacking in practical merit by itself, but illustrated as being useful for a specific gender in comparison to the other.</p>
<p>For example, his and hers toilet paper;</p>
<p>&#8216;his toilet paper&#8217; is inexplicably large &#8211; too large to fit on a toilet roll holder &#8211; and the single sheet paper is so thin, you need to fold it into four to make any reasonable use of it.  Its key selling point is that each roll is long enough to wrap around Manhattan.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, &#8216;her toilet paper&#8217; is triple ply with scented notions and embossed with pretty patterns so deeply that one roll is likely to last for only 1.3 <em>sittings</em> but promises to feel like wiping yourself with a soft fluffy puppy&#8230; nice.</p>
<p>Regrettably his and hers products are surprisingly successful thanks to advertising campaigns that offer the illusion of choice. Eg. &#8220;his and hers toilet paper. Which one will you choose.&#8221; Which of course implies that you would choose either of them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-232" title="Google Doc MD Logo" src="http://www.planet-nifty.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Google-Doc-MD-Logo-300x69.jpg" alt="Google Doc M.D. Logo" width="300" height="69" />You probably already know, dear reader, all about Google Docs &#8211; the free online office software suite complete with loads of free online storage, document versioning and all that cool stuff. But did you know about the other google docs that never made it to public beta? Introducing the long lost cousin; Google Doc M.D. &#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-227"></span></p>
<p>Far from being an office software replacement, the first revision of Google Docs, was actually referred to as Google Doc. M.D. and was a comprehensive medical diagnosis search engine. Google Docs M.D. was capable of collecting symptoms and providing non-conclusive diagnoses for thousands of common and rare medical conditions and even provide tutorials for practical and easy to do diagnostic tests that could be performed in non-laboratory conditions to narrow down and even prove your diagnoses without expensive medical or laboratory tests.</p>
<div id="attachment_229" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.planet-nifty.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Google-Doc-MD1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-229" title="Google Doc M.D. Search Results" src="http://www.planet-nifty.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Google-Doc-MD1-300x81.jpg" alt="Google Doc M.D." width="300" height="81" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Google Doc M.D. Search Results</p></div>
<p>Google Doc M.D. was already capable of diagnosing a large variety of conditions and provide useful advice on dealing with medical problems. Sadly the project was scrapped before the public Beta because there were too many concerns raised about the validity of a the medical opinion generated by Googles proprietary search algorithm. While every attempt was made to supply a reasonable disclaimer about medical advice from a computer in the end, the lawyers won and Google Doc M.D. was scrapped and the resources pushed towards making an online office suite of a similar name.</p>
