I was looking at the online demo for "Monsters Menace America" - an upcoming game. The part that made me laugh was that it's a big Flash monstrosity and every time it switches section you get a loading screen with the standards progress bar. Underneath it says what percentage is complete. As I transition to the second section it briefly claims it as "NaN% complete"
DAMN YOU ZERO AND YOUR TRICKY NON-DIVDING WAYS! (shakes fist)
(If you didn't get this entry don't worry. Unless you're a programmer. That would be bad. To sum it up for the laypeople - there are certain numeric operations that make no sense - the resultant value is Not A Number - often written as NaN. The most common one is to attempt to divide by zero - you ask the computer "What is 7 divided by 0" and it says "Not a number". Yes explaining it does suck what (little) humor there was right away, but hey! This here is the educational portion of the show!)
