One of my favorite bits teaching Hex Ed was writing it on the board and saying it out loud:

0 - Zero
1 - One
2 - Two
3 - Three
4 - Four
5 - Five
6 - Six
7 - Seven
8 - Eight
9 - Nine
A - Ten
B - Eleven
C - Twelve
D - Thirteen
E - Fourteen
F - Fifteen

It is so hard writing the letter and saying the number.

A - Aen
B - Bleven
C - Cwelve
D - Dhirteen
E - Eourteen
F - This one is good

I used to love the old riddle

if only you and dead people could read hex, how many people can read hex?

I married the first person that answered it correctly... well married in an MMORPG.

bring back calling sysadmins "webmasters" sounds way more mystical and ethereal

I will never get over C's string references being in fucking octal.
