Sometimes I lay in bed at night and ponder the wonders of the universe. Who decided that the long yellow fruit should be called a banana, and how did he convince everyone else to call it that as well? What was the force that seperated matter from antimatter? How on earth did they multiply roman numerals?
Then I literally StumbeUponed this site by Dr. David P. Stern that explained in detail the very peculiar yet accurate way Romans multiplied… they didn't know why it worked then, but it all comes back to the use of that good ol' binary.
