Provocative Ts

Looks like other people are not surprised that women that dress like sex objects sometimes get treated like sex objects, well duh. Here's another article on this situation. Don't get me wrong, I'm in complete agreement with Dr Such when he says that he doesn't believe "...that it in any way justifies a sexual assault...", but still when you dress and act like a sex object it does sort of hurt your argument that you are not a sex object.

It is implied in the article that she was more than a little uncomfortable with it, but she continued going to the same dentist fully expecting that sort of thing to happen (by the sound of it).

5.5499999999999998

I received an amusing letter from my Uni today, apparently I have achieved a GPA of "5.5499999999999998". I mean come on, no one needs, or wants, to know their GPA to that level of precision, why not just round it off to 5.55 or something?
