I use a pad and pencil.

Air is counted on a nilometer--built out of unobtanium.

I have nothing to do, therefore...

bOb what is the computer trick to see the names on the list? Nothing makes me believe you would post nothing on the list.

No trick, Gordon. There's nothing up my sleeve. Those are the titles and full text of the actual posts.

All in agreement with the OP.

Is it time for a poll? How do you pose a question about nothing? Did Bob Knight knowingly start this furor over nothing?
Or unintentionally? Is he a metaphysical master, or did he merely change his mind?

The answer always comes:

Or maybe it was 3.

You would have to start an additional Nothing post. Questions cannot be inserted into existing posts.
Try it. You have NOTHING to lose.

Nothing has become a Babbling contest with the last person to post the loser.

Been thinking... when we all have passed, that means this thread will truly become NOTHING...

How do you know we haven't already passed, and this is our version of purgatory ...to write about nothing for eternity.

Hmmm... Alan may have a point... nah, nothing...

I know nothing, I hear nothing, I see nothing...(or has this been said already ?) Too many threads to open on this subject that says absolutely nothing.

Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning. Key of Eb please. Thanks.

Gordon, it's "Caroliner"...

Nothing else from here...

Except... "Good Ol Rocky Top"

Scott said "Good ol Rocky top" Are you sure that's not supposed to be Good ol Tocky Rop. Not sure just askin. Aw it's nothin'

Well, according to the city formerly known as Lake City, they are now identifying as Rocky Top.

NOTHING like the artist formerly know as whatever he was known as.

No, it's 'Nothing could be finah.'

So apparently there's hope for nothing.

In the 60s I used to sit at the next desk to a guy who would continually sing that song. By the way, his girlfriend's name was Caroline.

I opened the dictionary to find the definition of nothing. The page was missing.

Delving into deeper forms of NOTHING, we come to a study about Doing Nothing:

Doing NOTHING is a form of Decision Avoidance from reason and emotion.

Several lines of research bear on the question of why individuals DO NOTHING

Four decision avoidance effects of doing NOTHING is choice deferral, status quo bias, omission bias, and inaction inertia. These findings of effect are related by common antecedents and consequences in a rational–emotional model of the factors that predispose humans to do NOTHING.

Prominent components of the model include cost–benefit calculations, anticipated regret, and selection difficulty. Other factors affecting doing NOTHING are anticipatory negative emotions, decision strategy struggles, counterfactual thinking, and preference uncertainty.

Now, don't you feel better with this understanding?

Nothing = my retirement mantra... never do today what you can put off till tomorrow, hence you do NOTHING!

The only problem I have with doing nothing is I can't tell when I am finished.

Wait; I just realized that my wife lets me know.

Every time I go looking for Nothing, I always find it.
Sometimes I even find it when I'm NOT looking for it.
