BLISS is word based and typeless.  On a PDP-10, doing a

    .pi = 0

where 'pi' holds a 36-bit floating-point value (and 3.14159...
presumably), that floating-point value would be used as an
address and 0 would be stored into it (assuming I remember
BLISS correctly).

So probably not what one wants to do. ;)
