Is the absence of everything, something?

Sort of like not being able to see the forrest for the trees...

If you search for nothing, an find nothing,
did you actually find that for which you searched?

It depends on the punctuation.

If you search for nothing

or

If you search for "nothing"

Is that an infinite amount of nothing?

Don Kona Woods · Post by **Don Kona Woods** » 16 Oct 2009 10:57 am

Is that an infinite amount of nothing?

I would ask, "Is there an infinite amount of nothing?"

Aloha,

Don

Jimmie,

I go for psychotherapy every week trying to figure that out, and NOTHING has come of it yet.

Pray for me. That might help!

Aloha,

Don

Everything and anything is an infinite amount of nothing, and more. For instance, an orange is an infinite amount of nothing, plus an orange. Any amount of nothing is nothing, even an infinite amount.

There are some who would say that this is a black square, but, actually, from the perspective of the computer screen, this is nothing. Black is the complete absence of light, and in this case is the complete absence of screen illumination.

There is Nothing like a black screen to keep the moths out of my computer.

I had high hopes that this thread was finite.

Seemingly now, this is to become absolute:
It's not only infinitely nothing __ it's poisoning my mind.
Yes, it is now something __ it's TOXIC WASTE.

Nothing is endless in this forum.

Don Kona Woods · Post by **Don Kona Woods** » 17 Oct 2009 8:50 am

Larry you crack me up

And just think, Larry gets cracked up about NOTHING!!!

Aloha,

Don

Alan Brookes · Post by **Alan Brookes** » 17 Oct 2009 10:02 am

...and it costs him NOTHING to get cracked up.

I once thought NOTHING might be the largest (Longest ??) thread ever but recently found one in Steel Players titled Show us your Steel that has 150,288 hits and 837 posts. And that may still not be the winner of that title...

Regards, Paul

PS: I see I have turned the page again and that has happened to me four or five other times in this thread but Alan has the record for that...

Edited 10-27-09 to show new hit data...

Does that make Alan the undisputed Master of Nothing??

Paul Graupp · Post by **Paul Graupp** » 18 Oct 2009 7:03 am

Absitivily and posolutely !! He is the NOTHING CANDLE without a wick and no one can hold it next to him !!

Thank you, thank you. I'm deeply honored.

I always knew that someday I'd be the master of something, but I never dreamed I would ever be the master of nothing. It's the culmination of a lifetime struggle for recognition. From now on I'll never look back. Once one has achieved the ultimate, how can he top it. Again, thanks to all for this acknowledgement, and I'll do my best to not let you down. Let's all sing another chorus of my greatest hit, Happy Birthday dear Nothing, for which the royalties keep rolling in, and keep me in the riches to which I've become accustomed, and which I deeply deserve.

In accepting this award I have to thank my great grandfather, Horace (my second cousin twice removed), all my former Infant School teachers, the Governor of Wormwood Scrubbs, and all those unrewarded people who have played such an enormous part in my well-deserved call to fame. Once again, thank you. I'm deeply humbled.

Shucks, Alan !! I never knowed you wuz your own Grandpaw !! Aurthur Godfrey would roll over in his grave if he knew NOTHING of this !!

I wish I could find my recording of R Dawg Is Daid and play it for you but one of my X's threw it out in the early 50's. Dang Her !! They ought to take a rope and hang her cause I can't sang no more !!

Regrets, Paul
