Seriously, what's going on here? Am I missing something? :-D
It's 2 challenging to figure out the intent of this thread.
Lois, there's a message in my Alphabits! It says:

The board would not allow me to delete something that I posted, so I edited it to just be 0's. Mod's please delete this thread.
Or we can have this thread be about places where Route 0 exists.
Or perhaps 3 ways that zero exists (other than the amount of dollars in my wallet :no: ):
1) exit 0 (I think we have a thread for that--too lazy and short on time to find)
2) Route 0 as 1 suggested
3) Chances are 0 in seeing a certain road project either finishing or starting. :biggrin:
I thought maybe it was some sort of binary joke. I remember a teacher I disliked in high school because she was generally a nasty person got mad at me for keeping my grade sheet (which she required us to do) using binary notation. She was not amused and did not appreciate my initiative. Maybe I should have used hexadecimal.
oooooooooo r u ohohohohoh
Oh good...I can bring up this concern: When I want to do a search for something, I have to enter at least 2 characters. Because of this, I can't look up, for example, "Route 1", because there's only 1 character in "1". I can't even look up "A", because again it's one character. Can that 2-character-or-more requirement be eliminated?

Zero milestones in some countries. There's one in DC, though I don't know for what route, and one in Madrid that all roads are to be measured from.

The one in DC is near the National Christmas Tree. It doesn't actually serve as the zero milestone for anything. It was intended to be an imitation of the one in the Forum Romanum, from which Romans did reckon the distances on their road system, but it never actually served that purpose because of how responsibility for road construction evolved in the 1920s and 1930s. It's more a curiosity than anything else. I suppose its location is kind of fitting, given the Roman connection, because Constitution Avenue (just to the south of there) is constructed on top of the buried Tiber Creek.

most forum softwares' search functions are inferior to putting in "site:[whatever].com" a space, then the search term on Google.
so your Google search would be "site:aaroads.com route 1"

My own method for doing so was Roman numerals, which, because they lack a 0, is inappropriate for this thread.

Thanks for that workaround!

The Wikipedia article on the Puerta del Sol (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerta_del_Sol) has a photo of the brass-inlaid pavement slab in front of the Post Office that is supposedly the zero point for the N-I, N-II, N-III, N-IV, N-V, and N-VI. I suspect it has been supplanted in that function by a modern georeferencing system--considerable lengths of these "single-digit"
nacionales have been superseded by
autovías of the same number but shown on signs in Hindu-Arabic numerals. Apparently so little care has been taken in the positioning of the pavement slab during renovations (the Puerta del Sol is now pedestrianized) that it was upside down for some years.
Chongqing, China has a metro line 0 under construction.

Yup. A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4, A-5 and A-6, but those still have their kmpost 0 at Puerta del Sol (A-42 to Toledo too), so if you are on those expressways, the kmposts mark the distance to there. At least in theory, because recently I found A-2 is actually shorter than signposted. I measured it from Ariza all the way to Z-40 near Zaragoza and, while there are 118 kmposts, I only got 111 km (69 miles).

While we're on the topic: I was walking next to a six-lane road today. A black man coming the other direction crossed to the median and back to avoid passing me. What the fuck.
I'm imagining you grinning like the smiley under your username. Which isn't working very well, since I have no idea what you look like. Which actually makes my imagination come up with an even more freaky grin. Anyway, out might also have been the sandwich board you were wearing that said "Defecating is sublime" or something like that.
Nobody came up with the Family Guy punchline I set up. :pout:

A 0 Dollar Bill. :bigass: Hopefully this don't count as politics because this is just a funny picture I saw on Facebook today and I thought of this topic.

No, but it does count as a bad photoshop because if the four black numbers on the corners (the Fed district number) were "13", the letter at the beginning of the serial number and in the seal at left (the matching district letter) would have to be "M". Because it's Z, the number should be "26". Furthermore, US currency has never had two letters at the end of the serial number (this is where the block letter goes). Likewise, the serial number is missing a digit; $1 bills have had 8-digit serial numbers with single letters on the beginning and end for almost 100 years at this point, there's no excuse for not getting it right.
Also, "R" hasn't been a valid plate position code since about the 1960s (whenever they switched to 32-subject sheets). The plate position codes changed recently with the change to 50-subject sheets, but R is still not a valid code (I believe it's A1-J5 now, with letters representing one axis and numbers the other). And what the hell did they do to Anna Escobedo Cabral and John W. Snow's signatures (who were both Bush appointees), anyway??
I can't make out the series year, but it looks like 2008, which would be another error–Obama didn't take office until 2009, and that is when the series year changes, not the year of election (all bills bearing the signatures of Obama's first set of appointees, Rosa Gumataotao Rios and Timothy Geithner, do indeed bear a series year of 2009, even the oddball Series 2009A we got on the $100s because of the problems with the Motion hologram feature causing unwanted creasing on the original Series 2009, which still has yet to be issued, even as every other denomination has transitioned to Series 2013).

I don't think any of this was relevant to the creator's point. Or maybe distraction from the real issue really helps make the point.
Or maybe the real point isn't on topic for the board, so I had to find something else to comment on!
