What you don't know doesn't hurt you, but it amuses

Oh wow... I'm so tempted... stop me before I.... Oh what the hell...

Given that the metric system is so beautiful and elegant and that the 12
base system has all sorts of problems one might think that the "Christian"
form of "god" really screwed up when he/she made the mistake of corrupting
his/her form by making themself "human" ....
and that the 12 diciples is just one symbol of that fatal flaw...

FLAMES INCOMING.... DUCK!

If God had intended for man to use the metric system,
Jesus would have only had ten disciples.

Why isn't 11 pronounced onety one?


Well, if anyone had listened to a particular crac... I mean visionary
person, back about 20 years ago, it would be! Guy figured it would be
the
best thing in the world to teach everyone to count and compute in
hexadecimal (base 16, for non geeks), rather than decimal (base 10).
There
actually are advantages, but I kinda doubt it will ever catch on...
