Is the absence of everything, something?

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! ;-)

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. :roll: ;-)

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. :D

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 :oops: :whoa: :| :|

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...

Thank you, thank you. I'm deeply honored. :D 8) 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.
