The real problem is that you *can't* retrieve that data again.  Rails
needs to coerce those values into a Date or Time, neither of which
accept 0000-00-00.  So we can't support it when reading data, there's
not much point letting you write it.  After all, you can't construct
the time object to save in the first place.

What about 0? Then the OP could test with .zero?
