Default average acts different in rows and columns?

Excel 2003:
When I do an average of a range of cells the 0 is ignored if the numbers are
in a column and is counted in the average if done across rows. Why is this?
The numbers are percentages between 0 and 100.
If I have the numbers listed down a column :
100.00%
100.00%
0.00%
85.00%
93.33%
100.00%
The average comes out to 95.67%

If I list them across a row:
100.00% 100.00% 0.00% 85.00% 93.33% 100.00%
the average comes out to 79.72%.

thanks Meenie
