There are 10 kinds of people in this world - those who understand binary and those who don't! My being in the military was tough enough for my kids. "Mommy, Daddy tells time funny -- he keeps going past 12 to 13 o'clock."
In civilian life, I got into programming. "Mommy, Daddy counts funny too -- he starts at zero instead of one and he uses letters after nine."
