I've got exactly zero proof. :(

The fact that the \"numbers\" are considered numbers is just an universal agreement. There is no physical \"proof\" for what, naturally, is a number outside of that agreement.

Later on t.w. said he just wanted to find a way to demonstrate that zero is a number because people had been claiming that it is not. However another poster, \"untermensche\", actually argued throughout the entire thread that zero is not a number.

0 is not a number! It is a free man!

Hold on ... hold it ... I've got a proof ... now what the hell did I do with that thing?

Zero does not require proof, because it is defined to exist.
There are number systems without a 0 in them. Not vector spaces, mind you, but number systems nonetheless.

It's what my clue meter's reading right now.

\"untermensche\" Isn't that what the nazi's called the jews? A term meaning 'inhuman'?
Sounds like a warm and brainy bunch over there. *sarcasm*

hey t.w. I have the proof here.
0 is just the half of 8. 8 is actually two zeros together. Then, if 8 is a number (that's still undemonstrated) then 0 is half a number. To get a whole number you have to join two zeros. That's the reason why $100 notes are worth more than $10. Don't let them fool you.

But if it wasn't, the dividing by 0 problem would be gone.

0 is a mutation of the number 8 because it threatened to blaspheme the Holy Toast. Unless it repents immediately, forthwith and posthaste it may end up wheelchair-bound. Praise the all-loving Jesus.

As long as your computer doesn't say \"
NaN\", its a number.

Tiny Bulcher: So if Number 1 was actually Number 6, what does that make Number 0?
(Sorry, but the final episode confused the hell out of me.)

The different number systems are all constructed by simpler elements and rules. In most, 0 happens to become defined as an element of that set. That is why it's a number in those number systems. Similarly for infinity, though it's usually not defined.
And, by the way, take a friggin' math course! I think natural and whole were covered in 1st grade. We were what?--six, seven years old when we learned that zero is a number?
