In Software terms, NaN means "Not a Number" - which in Mathematics is normally 0 / 0.
More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NaN
Systematic use of NaNs was introduced by the IEEE 754 floating-point standard in 1985, along with the representation of other non-finite quantities such as infinities.
Who gave them permission to invent "numbers" after I finished formal education? Outrageous.

Among the possibilities for your screen: you accidently linked to the site in an alternative universe and the browser was unable to make the time conversion the troll under the Bellingham State Street has been disturbed by the bridge work and is expressing his/her displeasure by messing with internet contents very curious ... I've not seen that before.
Interesting. I do seem to recall it used to show me how much time I had left, but in recent months it's always been showing NaN:NaN. I have no idea what could have caused that. I haven't changed browsers.
NaN means "Not a Number"
It also, in software terms implies, a mismatch of type e.g. a function is expecting a number but is getting a string or null etc. It will be some glitch in code or being unable to retrieve something (a number) from a database etc.
It most likely will not be something you have done e.g. a change of browser etc.
Yes this is where I have come across the terminology James.

I think it's shorthand for 'Nan:Nanana, hey hey, goodbye'
Beat me to it [:D]
