Masculin? Féminine?

Nouns in French (as in many languages) have gender.  Some are masculine and some are feminine.  Some make sense (un homme, une femme) but most seem to be arbitrary.  Why is a table feminine?  Why is pen masculine?

I will not re-write the great explanations already managed here.  That would just waste our time.  Instead, check it out yourself.  :)
