Iraq war fatalities reach 2000; Bush mandates switch to hexadecimal

(CAFEBABE is from Java)

Why don’t we state numbers in the base of the number of people dead? That would ensure the actual numeral remains at a constant 10. Think of the ink we save!

That’s okay, you’re allowed to be wrong.

It’s not even humorous…

For a moment I was worried that if it got up to 32768, we’d start getting zombies.

We’d have no problem with zombies if parents would only wait for their children.
