Numbers Are Slippery Comments

Numbers certainly can be interesting and there are so many things we can do with them. I was surprised to learn not all that long ago that, for a long time, there was no use of zero as a number, and that the concept of the zero is believed to have originated with the Maya Indians of Central America before the A.D.300's. The Hindus developed the concept independently several hundred years later and the idea spread from India to Europe during the late 1400's. Maybe it should be called just a digit and not a number.

Loved it! definatly a catch 22 situation
