Attempt at a facetious / humorous semantic quibble: Is it still "fractional reserve" banking [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional-reserve_banking http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional-reserve_banking ] when there's a zero in the denominator?

I there's a zero in the denominator we're all done for. http://j.mp/duDfHO http://j.mp/duDfHO

  Not done for, we just become undefined.

Fractional reserve is so named because the reserve is a fraction of the total deposits. The reserve is the numerator.
