Damn Funny

[The Dude]

Here's an essay (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/image/essay/1) that is just about the funniest thing I've ever read. This may or may not have been posted here awhile back (I can't remember where I got it from originally), but if so anybody who missed it will be glad I reposted it.

Cheers.

It's definitely been posted before, but that doesn't make it any less funny.

I don't want to read all of it. Why is it so funny?

[InchoateHand]

I think because these people think its real.

Its funny if you think the "hey, look, I'm a rhino, anal lube!" random humor is funny. I'm one of the morons who do, so it is mildly amusing. But yeah, if you don't read all of it you aren't missing much.

I've never heard of anything like this. <70 is an F.

Then what the hell is a D??? The grading scale is pretty obviously ten points per letter, starting at A.

[mmbt0ne]

There were never any such things as D's until I got to college.

100-90: A
89-80: B
79-70: C
<70: F

Some teachers would give a D if you had a 70 exactly, but that's it.

[jakethebake]

I was always:
100-93 = A
92-86 = B
85-79 = C
78-70 = D
<70 = F

I believe that is the Jesuit grading scale.

This paper is a fake though. It's funny, but there's no way a real teacher gives it a grade other than zero.

Wow. All across British Columbia, our grading scale is something to the effect of:

86-100 = A
73-85 = B
67-72 = C+
60-66 = C
50-59 = C-
0-49 = F

I believe this is somewhat similar across all provinces of Canada. Now I feel crappily educated. I think we must have way higher standards of marking though.
