Human beings, having only two hands, affixed with five miserable digits each, had only been able to count up to 85 until the very late Bronze Age, when an enterprising young Saracean named Tim figured out a method for reckoning numbers beyond the formidable wall of five-and-eighty.
The sly young devil...used his toes! And arrived most auspiciously at the new benchmark in number-countings, 86. From thenceforth, the sky was the limit. Human beings soon learned how to count to 88, 89, even 98! Mankind had conquered his perennial numerary nemesis, and crowned himself King of Kounting (and Master of the Universe).
Thus ended the reign of the Dinosaurs.
