   Zero is a mathematical term. In real terms, it means nothing. If I have   
   zero money, I'm in trouble. There cannot be zero elapsed time between 2   
   synchronous events, or a zero year.   
      
   Western babies are 1/(365.25 * 24 * 60) years old when they are born,   
   assuming it takes at least a minute to be born. I may have to redo that   
   formula, it's off the top of my head. In Western society, birthdays are   
   anniversaries of birth; when a child reaches its first anniversary of   
   birth (its first birthday) it is 1 years old. Prior to that, it is ...   
   some fraction of a year old. Unless you count gestation time, which varies.   
      
   Zero is for baby clothes sizes. But I still can't understand how a size   
   00 can be bigger than a size 000. A size 0 must be for a gorilla.
