That's a lot to say about nothing.

Didn't Shakespeare also coin the phrase "Much ado about nothing"?

35,000 hits for NOTHING!

THEY'RE NOT HITS! THEY'RE NOTHING!

Am I still following nothing?

Me, too, by golly. You betcha!

It's difficult to hit nothing. It's difficult to follow nothing, unless, of course, you're a politician. With the logic they come up with they don't seem to be able to follow anything...

Woody Guthrie once said that the soup was so thin even a politician could see through it.

Oh no.
A cynic's a the place you put da doity dishes.


When your house gets completely swallowed up and disappears,
it falls into a 'cynic hole'.

When a polititan tries to enrage the populace,
but it doesn't work, it's because he's a
'Heat Cynic'

It's difficult to hit nothing.

Nonsense. Why back when I was trying to learn to shoot, I did it ALL the time.

Ka-teesh!

Zero interesting facts about NOTHING:

0. Nothing's ratio of vowels to consonants is 2/7, or 28.6%.

0. If you start with Nothing, remove all the consonants, and then remove all the vowels, you get nothing.

0. Nothing contains 1 letter with vertical symmetry, 1 with lateral symmetry, 1 which becomes another letter when flipped upside down, and 1 which becomes another letter when rotated clockwise 90 degrees.

0. All of Nothing's letters are on the right side of the keyboard, except t, which is on the left side.

0. The sum of all of Nothing's letters that represent numbers is 1001 + N to the nth.

0. To make NOTHING out of food, you would need 12 french fries and 2 onion rings.

Does it have a beat

That is deep, Charley. It has two syllables, so it has two beats, but is that enough for it to have a beat? I would say no.

It brings up the question, what is the minimum number of beats for something to qualify as rhythm?

Nothing comes back from the dead!

It depends on who's playing them.
