Muslim Scholar No. 1: Allah be praised, I’ve invented the zero.
Muslim Scholar No. 2: What’s that?
Muslim Scholar No. 1: Nothing.

@Not Anonymous (assuming Across the Pond is correct).

Try the first church of Zeus. Not only is he quite active, he will simply go after whatever is prettiest in view (without regard for sex, species, or even whether animal, vegetable, or mineral).

And the first byte in the original is a capital W. (assuming a’lai’h = 0)
The second byte, if padded on the left with a 0, (screw utf8) is a capital Y.
