It was of course the Scots, PI Design, who invented counting whilst gazing at their toes (before the invention of the kilt) and hence based that science on the number twelve - a unit adopted by the Biblical saviour who selected the quantity of his disciples accordingly. It was only later that the French (known for the deformity of their feet - due I believe to devouring snails) which led to the introduction of the decimal system.
I trust this puts the record straight.
