Miles, feet, and inches are all base 12 - just saying.
It would be awesome to have a base-12 number system paired with a base-12 measurement system. It's just so much nicer to deal with than metric or imperial. So many measurements would become much easier. Take length. You could have the base measurement be equal to a meter, then use 1/3 meter sticks as roughly equivalent to a 1 foot ruler.
