Re: Cultural cloning and diminishing returns

Ancient wise man 1: so, that's counting sorted out then

one, two three, death, five, six ...

Ancient wise man 2: I'm sorry, three, what?

AW1: Death.

AW2: Why is it one two three, then death?

AW1: It's just what we came up with. Of course, probably people will try to avoid having "Death" amounts of things I suppose, maybe a little creepy, but what can you do eh? Anyway.,

Seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, deathteen, fifteen.

AW2: Erm, deathteen?

AW1: Well, we have to be consistent, otherwise people would get confused. We also have twenty-death, thirty-death and my favourite, deathty-death.

.....

Try to imagine it in a Mitchell and web style.
