How? What? Is this real? Could someone explain why? Is there a use?

The source of this appears to be that 0.0000001.toString() == "1e-7". Presumably parseInt first converts its argument to a String (which kinda makes sense).

Of course the more important question is why are you passing a number to parseInt?
