Extra Credit

Expired  Through first term: Extra Credit Poem Memorization  

Riddle! Five points extra credit for five students!

Extra credit for a Useless Fact: The ZIP in Zip code is an acronym for Zone Improvement Plan.  Tell me this fascinating factoid and earn 3 points of extra credit.  
ZIP is an acronym, "a word formed from the initial letters or groups of letters of words in a set phrase or series of words." (Dictionary.com Unabridged
Based on the Random House Dictionary, © Random House, Inc. 2010.)
More Extra Credit:   Rearrange ALL of the letters in "horse cart" and you will get one single 9-letter word. WITHOUT using the Internet, what is it? You're on the HONOR SYSTEM.  Thank you, Brian P. Cleary!
