  I don't know what friday has to do with it, but ok.

  If you calculate 0/0 on a computer you get NaN. "Freeman" is a reference
to Gordon Freeman, who was also referred to as the "free man" in HL2. So
the above is a reference to The Prisoner:

  "I am Not a Number, I am a Free man!"

  Yeah, I said it was obscure.
