Do you know why 6 was afraid of 7? BECAUSE 7 8 9!
Haha  One of my favorite jokes, any more?
More jokes about arabic numerals such as the number 7? No, I'm afraid that's all I have at the moment.
Are you from Arabia?
No, not at all. I just mean to say that the common number system (digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc.) is Arabic in origin. This is as opposed to Roman Numerals.
Do you know about the Binary Code?
I do! I learned a lot about binary code as it pertains to giving computer processor instructions in a University class called "Numerical Methods."
The Binary Code is an amazing thing. When did they create it?
Well I don't konw for sure, but I imagine that 8 bit binary strings (256 steps) for things like letters didn't crop up until the advent of the transistor in the 20th century.
