Quest! (Sonnet) by ?-Dave_Mysterious-?

Upon this wand'ring quest, For which I wear a vest, Should those who show bare breast, Be under house arrest. I'll always do my best, To proudly sport my crest, To East or to the West, With ne'er a falt'ring zest! I'm always fully dressed, It's nudeness I detest, For if you had not guessed, With clothing I am blessed! My inner pain shall forever my burden be.

Look at the year "1M9". 1 is in the hundreds' place. M is in the tens, and 9 is in the ones. That gives you 1 hundred, 22 tens, and 9 ones, or 1 + 22(10) + 9, or the year 329. Ergo, what the fuck are you on about? Mastery, indeed.

I'm afraid, though, we're all horribly mistaken calling it base-35. A base "where digits above 9 are written using letters A - Z" is BASE-36, since zero counts as one of the digits, the way a base using the positive digits up to nine is base-10.
