About a half hour ago my monitor's display suddenly became much clearer with much better detail and sharpness then it ever had before. Then I remembered that my computer has been acting kind of strange and that it started acting wierd right around Halloween.

So I started wondering if maybe a witch put some kind of curse or hex on my PC. But I used Spell Checker and ruled that out.

Then I found out exactly what happened. It's my monitor's New Year resolution.

That is the funniest thing I've heard this year!

Your computer is infected with hexadecimal, please consult a hexadecimalist or scan with Norton Anti-Hexadecimal 2006.

OK I followed the link you gave me and it appears you sent me to some sort of Computer Cyborg soft porn site and I quote:
It was IBM that decided on the prefix of "hexa" rather than the proper Latin prefix of "sexa"
And then:
An older term was the pure Latin "sexidecimal", but that was changed because some people thought it too risqué
And this:
However, the word "sexagesimal" (base 60) retains the prefix. The earlier Bendix documentation used the term "sexadecimal".

Well it turns out my computer is actually ambihexadecisesexagesimaltarious and can go either way so there should no problem.



For some reason I feel like I have to mention I'm not ambihexadecisesexagesimaltarious...

Ahem... I really appreciated your compliment until many hours later when it dawned on me the year WAS ALL OF ABOUT 4 HOURS LONG!

Good one!

And you just outdid yourself. I think I laughed up a lung! You need to add that Wikipedia.

Sounds like your computer has a mouthful.
