Unreal... so now we are broke financially and morally? great...
The reason things come in 10's is the decimal system. If we had a more natural system, based on 6 or 60, things would be much easier. 60 is ever so much more divisible than 10. And think about it from the beer point of view. Who ever heard of a 10 pack? No, it's 6, 12, 24, or 30 packs. All neatly contained in the pure number 60. If we had that system maybe there only would have been 6 plagues, or 6 forms of torture. Boggles the mind, it does. - Uhl
