10 kinds of people

Do you remember the old joke:
"There are 10 kinds of people, those who understand binary and those who don't"

It's funny, isn't it. It's sad that it's essentially a written joke, you can't tell it any other way... but wait! THIS MORON THINKS THAT HE CAN: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7GvstxiH-M

Since forever. Think about it for two seconds. If I start reading you a binary number from right to left, you will be able to add up the 1's positions and figure out what number I'm giving you. If I start from the left, you won't know which bit position I'm starting at so you would have to write it down to figure it out.

That's the joke.
