I was playing with Math.round, and I thought " what if I round a - decimal..." It returned a -0. Negative 0. NVM. I just looked it up and apparently NOW some people thing there IS such a thing as negative zero. Sheesh, next thing I'll find out there's more than one lassie.

If you're rounding -0.25, you'd still want to know that your number was a negative and not a positive when you round it to the nearest whole number (-0).
