Origin
In the olden days, people were terrible at adding. You know this is true from the page on 15 (Number)}15. But an important discovery in old math was the number 0, which, through all bizarre scientific whoozamawhatsa, made numbers bigger, despite being nothing. A man with eight gold pieces tried to separate it into five and three, and prove to the not-so-smart math wizards at the time that he had fifty-three gold pieces. However, by realizing he could add zeroes, he decided he'd have 5003 gold instead, thus establishing this number. He was the world's first thousandaire.
