Actually, I heard somewhere that mathematics would have developed a lot faster if we had 4 fingers on each hand. We would have realized the base 2 system a lot quicker and all sorts of fun stuff like that.

Also, Zeke, what the devil is up with how e^(-i*pi) = -1? My calc teacher explained it to me once...but I was lost. It had something to do with infinite series, I think, but I was really confused.
