| Song Lyrics: |
Flavius: Ave merchant Avia, I have come to purchase a quantity of your famous Sumerian pepper.
Avia: Et salve, citizen Flavius. You are in luck; we are having a sale today. Sumerian pepper will only cost you 44 talents.
F: 44. Oh no. Don't tell me that you, too, are converting to decimal.
A: Well, it is the law, Citizen.
F: But what is wrong with Roman numerals? It's foolish to convert when we're used to the old ways.
A: No, no. The decimal system is easier.
F: Certainly, for mathematicians and astronomers. How much is 44 in real numbers?
A: XLIV.
F: XLIV. Why don't you just say "XLIV"? Who can remember "44"?
A: But... but the rest of the world is decimal.
F: It's impossible to learn.
Boy: Hey merchant, I want 18 pieces o' licorice.
A: Well, they're 2 talents each.
Boy: Here's 40 talents.
A: And here's your 4 talents change.
Boy: Thanks. Hail Caesar.
F: By the gods! What was that gibberish?
A: He wanted XVIII pieces of licorice, at II each. He gave me XL, and I gave him IV change.
F: Well then why didn't you just say so?
A: Because this system is so much easier.
F: Easier...
A: Look, Citizen. All you need remember are the numerals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 0.
F: Yes...
A: You see there is a ones column and there's a tens column. You add 1 to the tens column, and set the ones column back to 0...
F: Yeh...
A: And start adding into the ones column again. Joining it to the 1 in the tens column, so after 9, there is 1-0, 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 and..
F: Wait, wait a minute. So you say I should count, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ss... 6, um, VII?
A: No, no, 7, 8...
F: 7, 8, 9, 1-0, 1-1, 1-2...
A: You've got it! You've got it.
F: Fine. Then give me 1-2 bags of cloves.
A: You mean "12"?
F: I mean "cloves"!
A: No, no. 1-2... "one two" is called 12.
F: . . . I see. . . So your residence is not 1-2-0, it is 12-0.
A: No, it's 120.
F: You've moved?!
A: No, no, heh. You see, when you reach the third column...
F: Enough!! Enough!! I will never understand this decimal nonsense if I live to be C! . . . Give me X bags of pepper.
A: 10?
F: X!!
A: . . . X it is.
F: And how much for your silk?
A: 55...
F: Ah...
A: I mean LV talents a yard.
F: "Yard"? What happened to cubits?
A: It's the new system.
F: No...!
[transcriber's note: all numbers are pronouced as written, so "1-0" would be read as "one zero". Roman numerals are also pronounced as written, so "XLIV" would be read "ex ell eye vee". I tried uploaded this with real Unicode roman numerals, but apparently the server didn't have that font, so it came out as ??? marks. I changed it.] (Shalom) |
