The beauty of nothing is that if you don't read it then you've read nothing. So you've both read and not read it simultaneously. What else can you say that of. :whoa: :\ :whoa: :\ :whoa:

"Tautology" comes from the Greek "taut" meaning "the same". When two arguments or statements say the same thing in different words they are "tautological". So "tautological" can only refer to something else, after all, it's an adjective, whereas "nothing" is a noun. "Nothing" is tautological with "nullity", but it's not tautological with "tautological." :\

I like the current views count for this thread...181818 !

And in case you might think I haven't been counting, the total views for my three favorite giant threads is now 664,406 views ! Might be a record of some sort or perhaps just another NOTHING !!

Have you counted how many of the 181818 posts are from each person? I get the impression that there are about five of us who represent almost all of those posts, with just a smattering of other people, who wonder what the hell we're spending all this time on NOTHING for. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Nothing ventured, nothing gained, so here are The Ventures, playing about Money for Nothing.

So there must be some purpose behind nothing, after all. :\

Nothing.... What useable files were left remaining on my system hard drive after a very nasty piece of malware got by Norton.
Lawyers are done: Emmons SD-10, 3 Dekleys including a D10, NV400, and lots of effects units to cover my clams...
