Siyo! I just remembered that there are some nomadic tribes in Arabia(?) who count in base-12. The way it developed is that they used their thumbs to point to the knuckles across the inside of their hands. Each of the four fingers has three segments, which makes sense. My sister counts in between her fingers rather than on her finger tips. Odd... Dana Clint __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo!
