Please explain. I'm pretty sure 0/3 = 0 and 0/1 = 0, so I was kinda hoping 0/2 did too.

For an integer N >= 1, N! = N * (N - 1) * (N - 2) * . . . * 3 * 2 * 1, the product of all of the integers from 1 to N.
0! is defined as 1 so that the formulae which use factorials (such as number of permutations, number of combinations, binomial coefficients, Gamma function, and so on) will work when N = 0.

Okay here's mine: The sweet ginger sitting next to your sushi was meant to wash the fingertips of Samurais after they ate sushi... kinda like handiwipes. They're really not meant for eating

The ginger is way more edible than the wasabi. I heard a ninja can flick wasabi into their opponents eyes from over 20m (about 60 feet for you Magician 
).
Mind you, the same can't be said about Dean Kamen's Ginger. I find IT hard to swallow (did you like that Segway, I mean seque?)
