Thread Name: BS: Why 100?
Subject: RE: BS: Why 100?
Why 100? Because most of us humans have ten fingers, so we work on a base of 10; and 10 times ten has some sort of mystical meaning for us.

Now if we were cartoon characters with only four fingers on each hand, life would be completely different for us. 100 would still be ten times ten, but it would be a much smaller number.

Next question?
