There'd finally be 10 months in a year, 20 hours a day (in two 10-hour intervals) and 50 minutes in an hour.

That puts exactly 1000 minutes into an day, which would be much simpler than the crazy numbers we have now.

I'm for base 11. There are 11 dimensions in superstring theory, there are 10 fingers + cock (girls should not bother, they are supposed to be in the kitchen anyway).
