Though I like the idea a lot, 60 has the great advantage that you can devide it by 2,3,4,5 and 6 which is a very useful property... The real power move would be to use the 60-system for everything... Like the Babylonians did, or so I heared

Nah, base 12 number system with the same logic as metric. But it's probably too late to switch to a different number system.

Nah. Can't devide by ape fingers

It's useful. But when was the last time you used it? You usually don't say a twelves or a third or a sixth of an hour, you say 5, 20 or 10 minutes. Half and quarter are available the same in decimal time.

It's more a matter of habbit. You know what a second, a minute and an hour are because you had all your life to precisely learn it.
