    Re: Manchester resident reaches new high!

    Don't they have an 'U' as well (like 'N' it skips a good number of letters)? Or is that only for A-Level?

    N is U i belive.

    N is for Not Marked, ie not enough marks to get a mark. U is for ungraded.

    Either way we should be able to hunt people like her for sport. Wounder what the odds of it been doll money are.

    If we need an example of why all the safety labels need to be removed from everything and we just let Darwinism take its course, I think this topic is a prime example.

    Actually N is 'Near miss' and U is 'Unclassified'

    I know this as I got an N for my A level chemistry, I hate that subject

    Scary thought - half the population has below-average intelligence! (discuss...)

    (just to fend off the nit-pickers, that only applies if the 'population' is an even number...)

    Normal distribution implies that there are always going to be some rather dumb (comparatively speaking) people and some rather intelligent ones - even if you filled a town with scientists (proper kind, not the ones on telly), the same would still be true, simply the normal distribution curve would move to the right.

    Its mom! m-o-m spells mom.

    Mom. Mommy.

    A mummy is a thing that chases you in a Scooby Do cartoon and Mammy is an Al Jolson song.
