lol... talking to oneself is a sign of impending insanity... responding is a sign that it is no longer impending

I agree, though. Even the use of the English alphabet for 10 thru 35 is arbitrary, except that it logically follows from the use of A-F in hexidecimal. Base 60 is interesting in that we regularly use it for time or angle measurements without thinking of it as base 60.
