Get the scamperton mug.A scale derived by the English mathematician and theoretical physicist Professor Ginger Ninja, which allows students using a sheet of A4 graph paper with 1mm squares, herein called 'mervins', to plot awkward, or complex points on a graph that shows the effect of temperature on the resistance of a thermistor. There are five mervins to a 'brick' and two 'bricks' to a 'box'.
Thus, any whole integer is always four mervins away from its next or prior integer; provided that each box on the y-axis is the equivalent to 5kΩ.
Simple, really.

MiniFunk: Using The Mervin Scale, how would I plot 54?
Proffessor: 54, would be four mervins below 55!
Jam and MiniFunk: Indeed!

Get the Pussy Scale mug.Scaphism, also known as the boats, is an ancient Persian method of execution designed to inflict torturous death. The name comes from the Greek word skaphe, meaning "scooped out".
The naked victim would be firmly fastened within a back-to-back pair of narrow rowboats (or in some variations a hollowed out tree trunk). The victim's head, hands, and feet would protrude from this improvised container.
The victim would be forced to ingest milk and honey to the point of developing severe diarrhea, and more honey would be rubbed on his body so as to attract insects to the exposed appendages.
He would then be left to float on a stagnant pond (or alternately, simply exposed to the sun somewhere).
The diarrhoea would accumulate within the container, attracting more insects, which would eat and breed within the defenseless victim's exposed (and increasingly gangrenous) flesh.
Death, when it eventually occurred, would probably be due to a combination of dehydration, starvation and septic shock.
In other recorded versions, the insects did not eat the victim; biting and stinging insects such as wasps, which were attracted by honey on the body, acted as the torture.
Death by scaphism is painful, humiliating, and protracted. Historical records suggest that Mithridates, sentenced to die in this manner for a perceived insult to the king, survived for 17 days before expiring.

Get the scaphism mug.1- Impossibly Ugly- Nobody is this ugly
2- Lowest Ugly- Very Very Ugly. Only about 1-2 percent of the population is this ugly
3- Plain Ugly- Someone who was born ugly
4- Unattractive- someone who is still ugly but not horrendously ugly.
5- Average- someone who is neither ugly or attractive and just “fits in”
6- Slightly Above Average- someonewho you aren’t necessarily attracted to but is above what is considered average.
7- Cute/ adorable- No Major Features but is still attractive. Mildly Attractive
8- Good Looking/ Pretty- Someone most people would consider attractive. They have a nice face, and are relatively in shape.
8.5- Handsome/ Beautiful- Almost Everone agrees they are attractive and are genetically blessed. They are basically very good looking. Someone that is/ looks like they should model are in this category.
9- Hot- someone you’d want to smash in an instant. They have a banging body, and a handsome/ beautiful face. A nine can become an 8.5 if they stop working out.
9.1- 9.9- Gorgeous- This person has 99 percent of everything going for them. These are usually pagent girls, or the male equivalent. They scream HOTTTT, and are so desirable. Just like a 2, very very few people can be in this category.
10- Perfection- Something that is possible unlike a 1, and has the same physical traits as a 9.9 but are super sweet, loyal, and not a gold digger.

Get the 1-10 rating scale mug.The grading scale for an Asian student is typically different from that of the average American student.
When you're a normal American:
A: Stands for "AWESOME" you're doing great.
B: Above average, you're still doing good
C: Average.. you could be doing better, but you're slacking
D: Below average, you're slipping, but you can still make it up is you try
F: Well, you just failed, didn't you. No need to really explain that.
---
Now, when you're ASIAN, it's A LOT different. "A" no longer stands for "awesome" anymore.
A : stands for "average" - anything below that is pretty unacceptable to your parents.
B : stands for "bad" - you're already at a below average cause all the other Asians and getting A's!
C : stands for "crap" - you're doing terrible and your parents will be pissed. They'll probably spank you or ground you, and you'll be sent to your room without dinner that night. If you DO have dinner that night, the topic to be discussed at the table is how disappointed everyone everyone is with you. This will be followed by comparisons to you and your successful siblings, cousins or fellow Asian students. That's right, your parents know every other Asian kid in your school even if you aren't friends with them. That's because your parents are friends with theirs and their parents like to brag. Bastards.
D : stands for "death" - your parents will threaten to kill you. They will not hesitate to beat the crap outta you, and when they're tired, they'll send you to your room, but once they've regained their energy they'll go into your and continue to yell and insult you. They'll take away your things (laptop, games mp3, phone, ect.) and even if pull up your grades by the next semester, you won't get them back until the semester after that. Oh yeah, you will be labeled as an embarrassment.
F : stands for "FUCKED!" Not ONLY will your parents beat the shit outta you, they'll probably make a call to your relatives in (china, korea, philippines, etc, where ever they're from) and start looking for plane tickets online. That's right, you will be sent out of the country cause your parents can't even stand to look at you anymore.
i got terrible grades and actually did fail a couple classes, but luckily i never got sent away T_T.

Asian: shit, my grades suck this semester
Friend: what are you talking about? You got A's, B's, and a C.
Asian: yeah, but on the asian grading scale that means I'll get about 2 and a half beatings and I probably won't be able to see daylight on the weekends...
