Photographic Image Sizes

So, after shooting over a hundred thousand images, I'm now toying with the idea of printing some of them out. Unfortunately, nothing is ever easy, and this is no exception. My camera has a 3:2 aspect ratio, like a standard 35mm film camera. For some reason, the different popular print sizes all have different aspect ratios. 3.5x5, 4x5, 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, 8.5x11. It's just nuts. So, I was wondering who came up with the standard print sizes, and found this fairly informative.
