Rule Zero

When you're trying to figure out whether doing something is a good idea or not, there are various rules that come in to play, such as Have Fun, Do No Harm, Have Fun (again), What Happens in Vegas, etc.

Rule Zero, the rule that always comes before all the others, the most important, basic rule of doing anything is: "Don't be on fire."
- I can't get this bbq to light.
- Here, use some petrol.
- I am not breaking Rule Zero to cook a burger.

--
- Hey, let's see what happens if I fill my foreskin with lighter fluid and light it.
- I am invoking Rule... wait... yeah, go ahead, that'll be funny.

A6M "Zero"

The most famous Japanese aircraft of WWII, codenamed "Zeke" It first saw action in China in late 1940 and quickly became the unmatched ruler of the air until 1943. It was extremely light and agile but had weak weapons and no armor. It carried two 7.7mm machineguns in the engine cowling and two 20mm cannons on the wings.

It could easily destroy anything the allies had until the F4U "Corsair" and F6F "Hell Cat" appeard in 1943. From that point on it lost its place as the dominant aircraft of the Pacific and by 1945 the Zero was outclassed and outdated.

It came in many variants, most of them improving the engine.

Coke Zero

Carbonated beverage introduced by Coke around 2004, claimed to taste the same as regular Coke, with no calories or sugar, and made with the new sweetener Splenda. Arguably tastes not better than Diet Coke, but just has a different aftertaste.

This product was created in part for the new generation of soft drinks in America, as the cola companies phase out the term "diet" on all sodas, because of the taboo it evokes in preference for the term "zero" or "free"
"You drinking Diet Coke fatty?"
"No, its Coke Zero you ass."

the zero boys

A hardcore punk band from Indianapolis, Indiana. Members included, Paul Mahern, David "Tufty" Clough, Mark Cutsinger, and Terry Hollywood.

In 1982 they released their first full length album called Vicious Circle. Unfortunately, after the album became a hit, bass player David Clough left and joined Toxic Reasons, a band from Dayton. The band did manage to record a few more tracks but broke up before an album was finished.

Around 1990, Selfless released a 7" single featuring the Zero Boys on one side and Toxic Reasons on the other. The Zero Boys then reformed with a new bass player and guitarist and recorded two further albums, Make It Stop (released on Germany's Bitzcore label in 1992) and The Heimlich Maneuver (released on Skyclad in 1993.)
In the last couple of years, the band has reunited for the occasional show, such as one of a series of shows at CBGB's designed to raise money to help keep the club open.
Paul Mahern went on to form the Power pop band the Datura Seeds and has since become a producer.

Ground Zero Mosque

It is a little known fact that the Twin Towers each had their own Mosque inside that were destroyed in the 9/11 attacks, it would be appropriate to refer to either of these as a "Ground Zero Mosque"
The destruction of the Ground Zero Mosques would seem to suggest that the 9/11 terrorists were not real Muslims, but were in fact enemies of Islam.
