Yeah, that's at the point where it _really_ departs from anything 
remotely mathematical.  Don't think I've ever heard the occasion to talk 
about 0-tuples in any context, though, so I don't think it's something 
we need to worry about.  I'm sure you'd just call them "empty tuples" or 
"0-tuples" and move on :-).
