08:21. What does the 0 stand for?
So. I'm up.
If that prick of a worm doesn't show up soon I'm going back to bed.

What happened? Did you wake up without your penis again???
No. No that did happen.
The geeky answer is, that when you have a list of times and you're sorting them into order (eg, earliest to latest) and you want your sorting device (eg spreadsheet program) to get it right, it needs the 0 to recognise that 8.21 comes before 11.03.
That's the geeky answer.
Its for 24 hour time. Basically, 24 hour time requires 4 digits so that you know thats the format you are dealing with. It tells you you are looking at 8 in the am. The Zero is just a place holder to signify that format. Without it, you may never know if it is morning or night. You could get out of bed, open the curtains and have a look out the window but who wants to do that.
