I hated non base 10 math. Base 10 is perfectly fine.  No need to do crazy other bases.

The ancient Egyptians used base 12. They counted the joints of the fingers on one hand.

Silly Egyptians. I mean, it's not terrible, it makes sense with a little practice. But ten just works so much better for me.

Well, yeah, because 10 is what you've always been taught. :P

By that logic there is 14 joints though... Unless they only counted the 2nd-5th digits. (anatomy class is taking over now) xD

Yeah, they omitted the thumb. :P Gotta admit it's a cool way of counting, though!

Actually I decided to go to SNU way before he wanted to move. He'll be up there before me though... and happen to live 2 hours away from Bethany Oklahoma... it just worked out. I know you don't beleive in god but to me this is another reassurance that I should go to college there... a god thing. that's what I normally say.
The only problem is I have to get 1400 dollars before I can even think of going up there. Which sucks. So I'm looking for a job and might get stuck working for walmart again.... which I don't want at all.

THE THUMB IS LIKE PLUTO! JUST BECAUSE IT'S NOT LIKE THE OTHERS IT NEEDS TO BE LABELED AS AN OUTCAST!
That reminds me of a story my co-worker was telling me...
((So, anyone who has taken anatomy class will know that even though we "say" there are 4 fingers and 1 thumb, we label them all as digits. 1st digit is the thumb, and you count up until the pinkie is labeled as the 5th digit. We often will say digit and finger interchangeably, and ignore that people don't call the thumb a finger))
A nurse was fighting with him about where the patient was hurting at. She kept saying 1st and 2nd finger... But it was clearly the pointer and middle finger. And she would not believe my co-worker when he was calling it the 2nd and 3rd digits. His exact words in response were "I must have taken a different anatomy class than you, because the thumb is technically the 1st digit"

Blah, is that the moving cost? Yeah, it sucks when you have to come up with a lump sum of money and don't have an easy way to save it up X_X. I hope you can find a better job than one at walmart. It's easier to go to work everyday when you can at least stand your job :/

 I'm on Pluto's side! I think they just kicked Pluto out because they didn't want to let in his friends Eris, Ceres, Haumea and... uh... that one I can't remember. Pluto's friends are just a little much for science.
