I had an aunt named Nan, I wonder what her disbursement checks were like :-)

My credit card was charged for $NaN once, due to a bug in a PitneyBowes postage kiosk. I was afraid I'd need to write them a check for 0/0 :-)

I have a photo of the receipt at http://www.righto.com/2008/05/importance-of-software-testing...

I have a friend named Nan, and I posted every "NaN" error I got in my code on her Facebook wall for about a year. She hated it.

plot twist, my friend's anglicized name is Nan, but in Vietnamese I think it is a number. (nth birth)

năm is number 5 in Vietnamese, not Nan
