What if human meat is grown? Could we overcome our taboo against cannibalism?"

  Bald is a hairstyle. Zero is a number. Thanks, al-Khwarizmi!

  Bald is lack of hair, dipshit, and zero is both number and placeholder. Then, of course, we get into the difference between numbers and quantities, and before you know it we're debating mathematical Platonism. Well, I say "we," but anyone who says "bald is a hairstyle" is probably only up for debating what balsa wood tastes like...
