How do you pay $0.00? Wait, this could be a trick question!

  I don't know. The website won't let me pay $0.00, but it also insists that I have an "active" bill for $0.00.

    Try paying them 0.01, and then you'd have a credit of 1 cent, and they'd refund it to you (maybe) ... atleast your status will move from "active" => "paid" or whatever its supposed to, assuming its not meant to remain "active" ...

    You could be sued for having to pay nothing. But, does zero actually mean nothing or does it represent something that is nothing? Semantic Skulduggery!

Send them a check for $0.00 to cover your arse. I know, you'd also spend $0.37 to mail it. Such is life.

Life was so much easier when people sent us bills... Sigh!

This is nothing ... BSNL actually *couriered* me a bill for Rs.0.00 last year when I was out of the country for a month!

Cost of paper + cost of printing + courier charges far exceeds the bill amount!

Baltimore has proved that even '0' has values.

Does this have anything to do with this?
