Matewis: lol :) I'm not sure I understand the first part though. Zero is part of every set? Perhaps you mean the set with 0 elements, i.e. the empty set? That set indeed is a subset of every other set. And oh yes, the dividing by zero thing :P In the construction of the real number system (at least the one I once saw), there are only two operations, addition and multiplication. 'Dividing by b' is just a short way of saying 'multiplying by the inverse of b', ( uhm wel you first prove that a/b = a*(b^(-1)) ) that is, the number which when multiplied with b gives 1. Since zero multiplied by anything is zero, which is proven, and since zero is not equal to one, which is also proven, it follows that zero has no inverse. Hence, just writing 'divide by zero' already fails to be make sense.
So it's better, as you put it, to be divided by 10 and not zero, since otherwise I would be destroyed, or something :D
I just read what I wrote, and I can't understand it either, but I do have a theory that might shed light upon it.

Theory is as follows:

When one begins to drink, especially when one has done so before in their life, the critical, intelligent, brain cells take notice.

At first these brain cells are not alarmed, as they know this is no big deal, as many business lunches have been successfully concluded over a few drinks, so there is no problem.

Somewhere, between the fourth and sixth hour, however, these brain cells start to take notice, and start looking for a place to hide.

Between the sixth and tenth hour, most of the critical thinking brain cells have vanished, so as not to be destroyed by the flood that they now fear is coming.

After the tenth hour, there are only a couple of critical thinking brain cells left, and they function as sentinels only to say "go to sleep, idiot" or "damn, moron, knock it off."

It is unfortunate, but I did not heed their warning until after the sixteenth hour, or so.

You must have caught me at around hour 15, so I apologize if I gave you a headache :-)

Have fun.

Lol interesting theory. I like the idea that they are only hiding as opposed to being wiped out as I've been lead to believe. So I don't have to feel as guilty anymore on friday/saturday evenings :D

Well, it is only a theory; one I'm testing again tonight.

Assume nothing, but please feel free to have fun within your own parameters :-)

I'll let you know if I ever figure it out.
