If you do the simple arithmetic, 60% As and the rest Bs would give an average GPA of 3.6, not 3.8ish as per the graphs. So that other 40% probably contains a lot of A- and/or B+

That's interesting. On a very loosely related subject, it struck me that if cats and dogs ever did go to war, the felines could triumph very quickly with the use of chocolate-based WMD's.

In a new study published on Thursday, researchers sent a type of moss called Physcomitrium patens to the International Space Station (ISS). This moss didn't get to live in the comfy more-or-less Earth-like confines of the station, but rather was put outside into the harshness of space for nine months.
