When you stop and think about it, numbers play a huge part in the overall scheme of things on this planet. Think about it, as if I would have to ask you to do that. Today is October 1, 2013, or, specified numerically, 10-1-2013. Think of important numbers to you. Your birthdate, your anniversary, your graduation date. Think of this: A zero, by itself is nothing, nada, meaningless. But, when you get your pay check, the more zeros behind that first digit make a huge difference.
