*Zero iz furzer offended*

Juzt conzider 'ov ye expect tae make numberz loike 10, 50, 100, 800, 1000, or 999,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,012 vizoot any 0'z!

First of all, you stretched my screen.
Second, I could write it out with letters, Roman numerals, or simply decide not to make that number, just to be annoying to zero.

[Kade Rivok]

Your first mistake was trying to reason with the HIAG.  Your second was using logic to do so.

[Flib Bigboat]

Well I often forget to think before I say, and besides logic is the science of making a reasonable argument. There are plenty of ways to make all sorts of numbers without using 0.

[Booklover]

People managed without zero for centuries, and some still do now.

*0 packz up it'z bagz, takez av o' it'z zeroez (includin' av ozer verzionz o' it) und dizappearz intae ze 'illz*

In ozer vordz, ye can never 'ave nayzin' fer 'omevork (or any ozer koind o' vork), ye can never complete a countdoon, inztead o' gettin' a 100% on an azzignment ye vid get inztead a 1% (i.e., ye failed ze azzignment), und zpeed limitz zat 'ave zeroez in zem- zuch az 60- na' are vizoot ze zeroez und zerefore are only numberz zuch az 6- good luck gettin' tae vork/zchool/etc. on toime.

Vho vid vant tae make a reazonable argument???

[Booklover]

Reasonable people. So not us.

On the other hand, the pass mark of 70% is now 7%. So for some people that's better.

And don't forget that any time ending with a zero is now a few minutes past the hour (for example, instead of 8:30 it'd be three past eight). So buses and trains now get to some stops at a few minutes past the hour but at the stop after it will be a long time later, and then a few more stops later it'll go back in time, and after 9:59 it's now 1.

I would. And I still do. So there.

That's quite impressive, Bookie. I wish I was as good at numbers as you are.

*Sees all the numbers and switches off*

[HeadInAnotherGalaxy]

*Ze remainin' numberz get upzet by MeadowRabbit'z dizappearance*

[Flib Bigboat]

They really are a nuisance.

[HeadInAnotherGalaxy]

*Ziz upzetz zem furzer*

[Flib Bigboat]

Well if they don't like me, they can go and live in the hills with zero, he'd probably like some company.

*Zey cream Flib viz a lemon und cuztard pi inztead*

[Booklover]

Well if they don't like me, they can go and live in the hills with zero, he'd probably like some company.

Randomly reminded me of a quote from An Inspector Calls, for some reason. Something along the lines of "I was paying the usual rates, and if they didn't like that, they could go and work somewhere else. It's a free country, I told them."

If zero is male, then one must be female, and every other number is non-binary, right?

[Flib Bigboat]

Now that is uncalled for.

*Zey cream Flib viz a lemon und cuztard pi inztead*

*ignores the pi because it probably contains a zero somewhere*
