Weird returned page from curl cmd

Hi.

Trying to do a simple curl fetch of a page. I get the data, but when I
compare the page to what I see in the FF/Opera browser, I get a difference.

The key section on the browser is:

  51% Men, 49% Women

The same section from the curl is:

                51.02081505702209%

 Men,

                48.97918494297791%

 Women

The actual test curl cmd I use is:

  curl -o "dee.txt"
http://www.collegeview.com/schoolfacts/auburn-university-main-campus/figures

It appears that the "%" causes some sort of expansion/rounding to occur in
the data...

Is there an attribute I should invoke that I missed. Didn't see anything
when I scanned the man pages, or looked over google...

Thanks
