Is Zero Indicated Airspeed Possible?

There is the question. I'm in a mood today. Have you flown your
favorite aircraft with zero or near zero indicated airspeed?
Yup. This past Tuesday. Water in the pitot line. It wasn't much fun, because
I was pretty rusty. The ASI went to 60MPH and just stayed there after I
rotated.
When I pitched up, it dropped to zero, but I kept climbing. When I was
flying straignt and level, it seemed to clear up, but when I was landing, it
stayed at 80. I ended up dropping it a few feet when it stalled, but the ASI
still said 80.
