The other day, I was watching Numberphile, specifically a video on the short system vs. the long system. (Look it up.) Then I thought, what worthless ninny made their own (dumb as all hell) executive decision to throw sensible powers to the buzzards and leave everything to powers of 1000 instead of 1,000,000?

GAAAAAH!

Yeah, that keeps me awake at night, too.

Everything needs to be shorter in today's "fit everything into 140 characters" lifestyle. Numbers were bound to go the same way.

Numbers are stupid.
