Terry wrote "......." so friggin much that my head's starting to hurt again and I've stayed away from the beers. Leave it to Mister Woods to get so much out of nothing! You are truly talented.
So here's my vote, my position, my take on it, my story and I'm stickin to it: Zero is an ENTITY. If Terry gave me zero of his funny cookies, which I'm convinced are laced with something, he gave me nothing AND something. That something is nothing, making his nothing and all it's synanyms (sp?) SOMETHING! Check the definition of the word noun and then wonder how a small English Language basic made it into a Math problem. (Thanks Rube--you had to screw it up even more).
If this is not enough to satisfy, then here's Plan B: Zero is an even number--it is spelled with an even number of letters, an even number of vowels, an even number of consonants, and using the scenario A=1, B=2, etc., the combined letter value of the letters forming the word Zero is an even number, 66.
Now I need a beer.
