Default Forex Trivia??

Hey, does anyone know why the pairs are quoted as they are? ie. USD/JPY and not JPY/USD. I assume they've been like this for awhile, but who decided which way to put them?? There doesn't seem to be a pattern, except that the EUR gets to be the base currency all the time.

As you can tell, this isn't very important haha. Just curious here..
