Re: [MBZ] Fw: Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?
Craig, I don't have the original email with the spreadsheet link - I got an answer of 238 - is that correct? Would like to know if I can hack it as a 5th grader. Also - glad you pointed out the grammer problem - grammer has become a pet peeve of mine even though I hated studying it in high school. ;-) Larry T (66 MGB, 74 911, 78 240D, 91 300D) www.youroil.net for Oil Analysis and Weber Parts Test Results http://members.rennlist.com/oil PORSCHE POSTERS! youroil.net Weber Carb Info http://members.rennlist.com/webercarbs . - Original Message - From: Craig McCluskey [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Saturday, February 23, 2008 6:50 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] Fw: Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?

I used to have no problem using its or it's, but since I've seen so much of it wrong, I have to stop and think which form to use.

Re: [MBZ] Fw: Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?
Sorry Larry, You horrible person you! How could you cut the legs off so many cats? I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you didn't cut up any of those poor girls. :-) I wish I could download the spreadsheet but the crappy server dumps me out after sending only 90kb of it. Hmmm maybe I should give the answer here and spoil it for everyone. Naaa I'm not going to be that mean. But it's a lot more legs then that Larry. What's the term? More than an order of magnitude?

Re: [MBZ] Fw: Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?
Your reply made me go back and actually do it. I think you missed a multiple in there, remember each girl has 7 backpacks containing 7 cats. BTW can you forward my last analysis report? I got the mailed copy but seem to have missed the pdf. Maybe Yahoo's spam filter ate it. -Curt Date: Sun, 24 Feb 2008 07:50:23 -0500 From: LarryT [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MBZ] Fw: Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?
