Sometimes Slashdot is the best thing to read in the morning, there's nothing like reading about the invention of a new number as soon as the coffee kicks in.

The new number, called "nullity", apparently solves the problem of division by zero. I'd try to explain it, but for me it'd take at least two more cups of coffee, a half-bottle of Nyquil, and a smack in the head with a silk-wrapped phone book.

And this is being taught to 10-year-olds in Britain. This could be the biggest threat to American public schools since when they tried to shove the metric system down our throats...
