There are folks on this forum who really worry me. Some would take Quag and Aquilani over a player like Neymar, it's really outlandish shit. I'd call those people kooks of the Giants-under-earth-will-eat-us-all variety, but that might be a little too kind.

Going with what you know is better than those who are insisting upon how we need a player like Neymar, who they've never watched, to take us back to the top.

It isn't that difficult to watch him play. He's always playing for Brazil and Santos streams are always readily available. I don't watch as much football as I used to, yet I've seen him several times since the new year.

    What number or percentile were you guys in your graduating class? I just found out mine and I don't know if its good or just average

    That's a terrible measure of anything. I was 52 of 53 in HS, and probably bottom half of university.

    The funny thing, I'm rawly more intelligent than 75 or 80 percent of the people in both groups.

    IQ is raw, GPA measures teachers and classes, and graduating percentage measures really the idiocy of fellow students rather than how truly smart or intelligent one is.

    I couldn't agree more.

    It pisses me off that you get asked that in job applications and when you're applying for a masters.

    Well Masters here tend to rely on pre-qualled tests, standardized. They are just up-scaled SATs, id est: mCATS, lSATS.

    That's one reason I lie on my resume.

    Yep the GMAT (I'm thinking about getting a MBA) score has to be very strong if you want to get into a good school. I've heard some schools care a lot about class position though
