Wow. Just, wow. What else can I say?
can we do something about these grades them seem totally ludicris to me. I dont understand the system or why it seems peoples grade go down when they have a good draft...and how someone gets like a b (adam) and his grade goes up...
truth. what's this system out of even? and if the system is following the normal college/high school schpiel where an a is worth 4, how are some people so close to the top when, based on at least their recent grades, there is no way that they could ever get so high?
Although I am very impressed with the disturbing amount of effort that must have gone into these rankings, I'm a little disappointed that they seem to rank cities purely in terms of how pleasant/visit-worthy they are, without taking into account how significant they are in any other way.
Of course they do and you are a communist. Try searching "most historical cities" or something on Google. If you come up with anything, let me know. Otherwise, I am far too lazy to do that myself.
in fairness, while i agree with our anonymous little friends, that wasnt me posting earlier. it is true though, no one really cares that much to scrap them and start over, or to do a playoff. its true, we really are that lazy.
i think dan should be in first place! He has teh grades to prove it.
I think Sarah should be in first place! She's the smartest... and prettiest.
Dear Albert,
I stole your Egyptian ring.
Sorry.
Sincerely,
Adam
