Re: .999~ = 1
Back when I was 229 Team Leader, I got a random email from some mathematician out to prove that dividing something by zero actually equaled zero.

It's pretty weird.
It was definitely strange to get an email from him, apparently he just searched the net randomly for people to hear his theory, and our team name ("Division by Zero") led him to me.
