Mmmm, pizza. 
: : Wee, that went a little too small for me.. But does anyone know where 'deca' and 'hecto' and stuff comes from? Because I don't..

: Deca comes from the latin word (decimus?) meaning ten  .. don't know about hecto though

What I know is that a "hèkatombos" (or hèkatombè or something) is an offering of 100 white cows.

And I believe that even deca is stolen from the Greek!
