0! = 1
Background info:
n! is notation for "n" times every number smaller than it. Ex: 4! = 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 24
nPr = n! / (n - r)! for the number of sequences of objects where "n" amount of objects taken "r" at a time (4 objects taken 2 at a time: [small]4[/small]P[small]2[/small] = 6 different sequences of 2)
So, 0! = [small]0[/small]P[small]0[/small] for 0 objects taken 0 at a time
so, 0! = 0! / (0 - 0)!
= 0! / 0!
=1 (any number divided by itself equals 1)
So you can divide by zero and 0! = 1

Potassium nitrate, sulfur, and charcoal (burned wood, not BBQ) combined finely in a 75:10:15 ratio will make black powder. Not gun powder, as we know it, because modern guns use a completely different mixture, but sufficiently powerful propellant, nonetheless.

(also, to get potassium nitrate to burn purple, you need a blowtorch, and it isn't as cool as it sounds,I'm just sayin)

Don't bring up math. People wills start arguing with their post counts how many Real numbers there are between 0 and 1.mrdude2010 said:

There is a person that is the equivalent to Anti-Hitler.
His name is Norman Boarlog [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Borlaug] and by his efforts he has saved in excess of over 1 billion lives.
The actor who plays Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory is gay. (Quote Seinfeld "Not that there's anything wrong with that.") I told a guy at work that and he said, "There's this guy at my other job who love The Big Bang Theory and HATES gay people. I'm so gonna tell 'em!"
The first recorded use of the word, "Nerd" was in a Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute magazine called, "Bachelor". It originated from another RPI magazine which had a joke about a old, virginal women named Miss Abagale Snerd, and later, "Bachelor" had both a character in a West Side Story parody nammed Nurdly, and a James Bond parody nammed, "The Wedge: The Simplest of Tools", which lead to a sequel, "The Man From N.E.R.D.". The stereotype image of a nerd, a la Steve Urcle, also was first fully formed at RPI, but has its roots as far back as the Great Depression. This pop culture image would eventually go mainstream, probably thanks to an SNL sketch written by Anne Beatts, after she was inspired by a performance by Elvis Costello. After watching him, she apparently found herself thinking, "This isn't Punk Rock. This is Nerd Rock".
For anyone who doubts that the culture of Nerds has a rich history, just think about Dr. Frankenstein, and Mary from Pride and Prejudice. One might attribute these characters as being some of the first Nerds.

It is reported that the dazed crew of a Japanese trawler were plucked of the Sea of Japan clinging to the wreckage of their sunken ship. Their rescue, however, was followed by the imprisonment of the boat's crew once authorities started to question the sailors on their ship's loss. They all maintained that a cow, falling out of a clear sky, had struck the trawler amidships, shattering its hull and sinking the vessel within minutes.
No one believed them, suspecting them of drunkenness or worse and so they remained in prison for several weeks, until the Russian Air Force reluctantly informed Japanese authorities that the crew of one of its cargo planes had apparently stolen a cow wandering at the edge of a Siberian airfield, forced the cow into the plane's hold and rather rashly then taken off for home. Unprepared for live cargo, the Russian crew was ill-equipped to manage a now rampaging and fed-up cow within its hold. To save the aircraft and themselves, they pushed the animal out of the cargo hold as they crossed the Sea of Japan at an altitude of 30,000 feet.
