What's this? You got a higher verbal score than math?
wow! i got a higher verbal score than arne! well, i guess i really
should say comparable since i got a 700. i think this is clearly
evidence that sat verbal scores have little bearing on writing
ability. and i guess that it's even more true of gre scores (see
below). i forget -- are they're supposed to measure reading
comprehension and vocabulary?

what about people who take the sat multiple times (there are those,
right?) and whose scores flip?
and what about my case where my scores from psat verbal to sat verbal
to english achievement dropped by 30 points each time, and then i got
a perfect score on the gre verbal. i guess my gre score is a fluke:
did my reading comprehension and vocabulary really improve, in
contrast to the 30 point drops? certainly my spelling and grammar had
already started deteriorating -- i've pretty much lost the who/whom
and that/which distinctions.

I took my SAT's so long ago that I can't remember what I got.
I *do* remember my GRE's though - 680 790 790. I esp. liked the
qualitative section, and the last time I took the GRE's (1986)
being VERY happy that the "extra" test was a qual. (All logic problems,
wheeeeee! You had to do 25 in 30 minutes, or something like that.
The first time I took the GRE's I found an error in one question (I
was able to eliminate all the answers, and in the time left over
from answering the rest of the questions, write ait up on a scratch
sheet and handed it in with the test. Apparently two other people
found the same mistake. [The GRE people claimed that there was an
answer and would divulge it for something like $25 - ha!]
But to state my qualifications for this support group,
my Physics GRE score was so low, I think they had to invent new #'s
for it. BIG PROBLEM - NEVER, *never* *never* take the subject GRE's
in November or December! A ***LOT*** of schools use them for
qualifying exams for their grad students, and thus the scaled scores
are way out of whack. IF I had taken the same test in like, March,
I would've scored 100+ higher it turns out.

P.S. one of the questions in the Physics GRE listed four physicists
and asked us to rank them in order of when they made their contributions
to physics. I mean come on - I think history is important but for
a 100-question test they could've been a little more on-topic.

I forgot too. I can't even remember my ACT scores from high school. But
I finally know what I got on the LSAT I took last December: 162 (88th
percentile for the LSAT-impaired). Considering I barely studied for it,
I was more than a bit enthused. In fact, the neighbors wondered why I

>Don't they serve essentially the same function?
I have A-levels *and* O-levels, but they're not quite the same. Both are
subject-specific. A-levels are the equivalent of SATs in as much as they
are graded and define one's desirabilty to "Higher Learning" institutes
for an undergraduate degree. But all A-levels are 2 year taught courses
in a particular subject leading up to the A-level exam in that subject.
Different undergraduate degrees have different A-level subject
requirements, and different universities will require different A-level
grading requirements in the same subjects in order to accept someone for
the same undergraduate course.
There are specific A-levels in Chemistry, English, Physics, Mathematics,
Computer Science, Music, History and practically every other subject you
can think of. And different combinations are acceptable to different
universities for a given undergraduate degree.
The minimum school-leaving age in Britain is 16, and *all* schoolchildren
are required to sit either O-levels or CSEs (certificates of secondary
education) before they either leave school or go on to A-leel classes in
their final 2 years (depending in part on how well they did in their
O-levels or CSEs). These are one year courses following on from four
years of general education, some of which subjects can be chosen, and some
of which (including christian religious studies - excuse me while I spit
at the memory) are mandatory. They are similar to A-levels except that
they are at a more simple level and schoolchilren have to take more of
them (at least 8, generally) than they do A-levels (usually 3).
Basically, we have to specialize far more early than you do. Wehave to
know what particular undergrad degree we want to take at least 2 years
beforehand when we pick out A-level courses. And the grades aren't
numeric, but go "A" "B" "C" etc...
I realized the *critical* importance of both when I posted
my stats months ago.

I forgot to point out that Judy Chicago's plates were
not of just any old vulvas. No. Each plate depicted
the vulva of a different Famous Woman in History. So
there was a Joan of Arc vulva plate, a Marie Curie vulva
plate, and so on. The women whose private parts were
rendered artistically in Box Lunch were of a considerably
less lofty stature in history. I don't remember any
one in particular, but they were of people like, say,
Marjorie Main or Shari Lewis.
All kidding aside, there is a tradition among women
artists to make women's genitalia the subject matter
of art -- think of Georgia O'Keeffe's flower paintings.
There's also those vaginal altars to "The Goddess" that
were so popular once upon a time. (Actually, a prof here
is famous for the altar to "The Goddess" that she has in
her office. It's a hole in the floor.)

wide, wide, wide coverage. I hated it, actually, and
much preferred Maria Manhattan's response to it, which was
called something like "The Lunch Box" (it's been a long

I'm not sure that I'd accept that this is similar to the

produced around that time arose from the discovery that
female genitalia are not, in fact, disgusting (which was
big news back then), rather than "hey, I've got a really
big one."
hey, when life is hell, you grab on tight to what little crumbs of
self-esteem come your way. me, I was a math geek who consistently
failed english in high school, but scored better verbal than math.
obmotss: I think my english teacher was gay. is gay. the person who
was my english teacher is gay. (GI Joe says "English. Hard.") this
was hearsay; I don't know where the information came from, but it
might have been true. maybe I'll look him up and ask him some day.
(my brother had him as a teacher too, so I asked my brother last week
about this and he said "I don't think so, because he's married and has
a kid". small sigh.)
one day while my english class was reading Aquinas (which I can't
remember at all), the teacher set a discussion topic from out of
nowhere: "would Aquinas have considered homosexuality a sin?" this
was 10th grade, honors english, around 1982. I don't really
understand how the class reacted, but after an awkward moment, they
ran with it and discussed this question like any other. I don't
remember the discussion itself.
I remember a few other curious places homosexuality turned up in
english class. and I don't remember _anything_ about homosexuality
from health/sex ed. well, they might have mentioned the 10% figure.
but everything about relationships, dates, rapes, etc. was
heterosexual. except, during rape, the teacher asserted "men can be
raped too" without any supporting explanation, so this was ambiguous.
(I had no idea I was gay back then, so none of this really connected.)

Live every minute . . .
One highlight of my LSD-enhanced trip to Disney World, when I
was a freshman (I've told some of you about this, I'm sure) was
riding the little boat through "It's a Small World" with my
singing group friends singing their parody, apropos cute little
foreign peoples their in cute little foreign costumes:
It's a White world after all,
It's a White world after all!
It's a White world after all,
It's a White
White
world!

Catholic school?
ObMotss: Aquinas--someone whose dick was bigger than his combined SAT
score, and who had never heard of Hugo Wolf (nor even Nero Wolfe.)
Answer to the above question: yes.

The Vatican Rag has always been in the top two for me. My other favorite

Oh yeah? I have one less tooth than people normally do. I just plain
wasn't born without it. One of the uppers, towards the front. Dentists
are just impressed as fuck when they notice it. And my bottom teeth are
as straight as if they've had orthodontal work, even though they haven't.
And cavities? Never had one until 6 months ago.

I do *not*! Despite the hundreds - thousands? - of times it has

I'll keep doing it, though, every chance I get, since I'm bound to learn
to like it if I do it often enough.
Honest.

Well then, you should go out and buy them. They are still available.
While I imagine that most music stores don't stock his albums, you should
be able to order them.
I keep a tape of his songs in the car so I can assult passengers with
them when I'm in the mood. It's great to watch their reactions when they
really start listening to the lyrics.
I have to do a speech on a person for my public speaking class, so I
chose Tom Leher. A couple a years ago, I directed (and perfomed in) a
community theatre production of "Tomfoolery" - a musical review of the
works of the illustrious, demented Mr. Lehrer. The last I heard, Tom
Lehrer was teaching Mathmatics at the University of California at Santa
Cruz.....does anyone have any more up-to-date information??

My SO is a big Tom Lehrer fan and has a couple of his CDs (yes, Tom Lehrer
is available on CD). He's written quite a few gems (including the
popular "Vatican Rag"). I have to give him credit. Anybody who
can come up with with lyrics like:
You can raise welts
Like nobody else
is worth a good listen.

According to the people working there, I am the only person *ever* to
derail one of those little cars.
You should have seen the look on the guy's face when I came cruising
around the bend *between* the tracks. He hopped the car back onto the rail
and gave me another ride for free (this was back in the days of "E" tickets).
The trick is, steer hard right, hard left, etc. until you get a solid
bounce from the rail. If you time it just right, you hop over the rail
and attain freedom. Don't forget to signal when you change lanes. :)
