Arab/Indian numerals and the positional system to give powers of 10 are so convenient and practical that going back on that is preternaturally stupid, and I say that as a guy who is permananently shut off any serious mathematics.

I have a book called "The Book of Nothing" by John Barrow, which is all about the history, philosophy and mathematics associated with the concept of zero. Quite fascinating - I must read it again...

Said Peter...what you're requesting just isn't my bag
Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late
Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan
Turn stone to bread right away...

Shockingly, this did not happen in Florida.

WASHINGTON (Fox 32 News) - A man who shot himself in the testicles was also found to be hiding marijuana in his buttocks, according to a report.
Cameron Jeffrey Wilson, 27, was carrying a gun in his front pocket on April 5 in Washington state when the firearm accidentally discharged, the Wenatchee World News reports. The bullet pierced Wilson's testicles and then went into his thigh.
Upon arriving at the hospital, a doctor was operating on the gunshot wound when a balloon of marijuana slipped out of Wilson’s anus, court records show, according to the report.
Police arrived at the hospital and searched Wilson’s car where they also found a bag of meth, the report said.
The man’s troubles did not end there, though.
As Wilson -- who is a convicted felon -- was being processed into the Chelan County Jail, he was strip-searched and another balloon of marijuana came out of his anus, according to the Wenatchee World News.
Wilson has pleaded not guilty to second-degree felon in possession of a firearm and unlawful possession of meth. He also pleaded not guilty to posession of a controlled substance in a correctional facility.
Wilson is being held on $110,000 bond and due in court on June 18.
This story was reported from Chicago.
Editor's Note: This story initially reported the man accidentally shot himself in the penis. He actually accidentally shot himself in the testicles.
