Lets see, we have 10 fingers (or 10 toes). We count in a decimal system, so sheez of course a 10-base system like celcius or the metric system sucks, sure:) Well, while you stick with counting your feet and calculating inches, feet, miles with no apparent relation to eachother i'll use my fingers. But hey, Americans are probably waaaay better at math that way:)
