Voltage regulator for 0 Volts output.

I don’t get that. Am I being thick?

It is an old joke from elektor. The output is shorted and the resistor is very high.

Should work even better with 0 V zener diodes.

A panda walks into a restaurant and orders a sandwich.
When he receives the check, he pulls out a gun, fires it several times, then walks out the door. A stunned patron then asks the waiter, “What was that all about?” The waiter responded, “That’s just the way pandas are,” and walked away.
Well, the patron didn’t know what a panda was, so at home that night he looks up “panda” in the dictionary and what he finds explains everything:
“Panda: A large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China; eats shoots and leaves"
Happy New Year's

Every time I need something, I hop in my car and run to the store where it's either Sunday and they are closed, or for some other reason they are not open, like legal disputes, foreclosures or an untimely death of someone I have never heard of.
