What Happens When I Can't Sleep
me: Who was the voice of Wakko (from the Animaniacs)? Was it Ringo? I think he kinda sounds like Ringo (Starr). (Apparently the voice and personality of Wakko was loosely based on Ringo.)
wife: I doubt it was Ringo 'cause they probably didn't want to pay what Ringo would've asked.
me: Did you know that both Ringo and George Carlin played Mr. Conductor on Thomas the Tank Engine? But I think that was on PBS, so they probably did it for free or something. You know, for charity, or for the kids, or whatever.
I understand, primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary, quinary, but what's next?
wife: *sigh*
me: sextary? hextary? (I'm still not sure.) Also, if you've got the word ordinary, can something else be considered cardinary? Or is ordinary derived from a different root word than ordinal? (According to Dictionary.com they are both derived from the original Latin stem ordo, meaning order. Anyhow, I guess the etymology differs a little.)
sorry, baby, good night.
wife: good night.
*sigh* i love you.
me: i love you, too.

from "hextary" onward, I was actually sleeping. nothing against topic of conversation, just drugs.
Love.
Senary. This was the best resource I could find.
Oh, yeah, and I believe Jess Harnell was the voice of Wakko.
you are correct about Wakko, brother. (i linked to that wikipedia article, I actually managed to find that one) But thank you for the link to positional numeral systems. Septemvigesimal sounds so dirty.
