I agree. The metric system is great being base 10 and all but sometimes I wish we had evolved with 12 fingers just for this reason.
We evolved with 12 finger segments per hand. It's easy enough to count in base twelve on your fingers by placing your thumb on the first segment (index or pinky, whatever direction you want to go) and moving to the next segment to increment. When you run out of segments on one finger, go on to the next. If you're talented enough to use both hands, you can get all the way to twenty four without even taking off your shoes!
