719669 2008-11-12 00:49:00 Which historic group was it that didn't have a concept of negative numbers? And are you a descendant of this group R2x1??

I seem to recall that it was the Persians that 'invented' zero.....

719670 2008-11-12 00:49:00 I missed the joke there R2... care to clarify?

johcar: He's usually joking, and he's far too smart to seriously believe what his post seems to imply at face value. I can't help but feel there's a joke that we all missed...

719672 2008-11-12 00:54:00 They just really wanted to get the opening ceremony right?

OK, get it. Sorry, I was expecting something slightly funnier. :p

719674 2008-11-12 01:57:00 Go to the rubbish bubble, R2x1!!! :D :D

You were far too subtle for some today!!! (Not me - I knew what you were getting at.)
