Ask Nietzche, and Sartre.

Those guys know nothing!

"Ask Nietzche, and Sartre."

Are they related to Abbot and Costello? Think nothing of it.

You're thinking of Col. "I know nuhthink" Schultz.

He was a sergeant. And b0b was right. Those guys know nothing inside and out. And while they are distantly related to both Abbot and Costello and Laurel and Hardy, they are more directly related to Adam and Eve. Adam and Steve were never able to have biological offspring of their own. They produced........ nothing.

I have just been singing the popular standard -
I've got plenty of "nuthing" and "nuthing's" got plenty of me.

Also, I thought that I would let you know that my singing in "nuthing" to get excited about!

Nothing's perfect....

Okay, I just happened to read an article about the origins of humor in Discover (Why Laughing Matters, Jim Holt, July '08, p. 67). It all seems to derive from incongruity. A classic example is the false-alarm situation, where something seemingly fearsome turns out to be harmless - "...the essence of humor is the dialectic between something and nothing, the most universal categories of all." Sound familiar?

The article speculates that humor will last into the far future. The article ends with, "We might laugh even harder at the thought that the end of the universe - its disappearance in a Big Crunch or expansion into dilute nothingness - itself has the logical form of a joke."

Whoa...heavy, dude!

Yes, they specialize in Black Comedy.

A cosmic singularity could be everything or nothing at all. If an infinite quantity of matter is concentrated into an infinitely small space, would I still need second string double lower on my right knee right?

Ray, that's a question that only Bill Hankey could answer.

Seems nothing last forever.

This ain't "no thing"... a couple things, maybe...

It depends on the amount of dark matter in the universe.

She's wonderfully pneumatic,
it's a Brave New World,
and nothing is timeless.

There once was a man from Bel Aire
who did it on the stair.
When the banister broke,
he doubled his stroke,
and finished her off in midair.

Nice slide action.

Arch.

Is that what you call " Monkey Shine "

Monkey Shine!...........OHHHH!

Nothing like a lil music... student.


Or two.



Ill fly away in the morning.
I'll fly away
When I die halleluiah by and by
I'll fly away, fly away


No need to survive on nothing with Diana in your corner.

Six holes form the Essence of Whistle
that allows the whistle to play.
And yet the holes are Nothingness.
It is the inside of the Tube
through which the Breath of the Player flows,
and yet there is Nothing there.

We mold clay into a pot,
but it is the emptiness inside
that makes the vessel useful.

We fashion wood for a house,
but it is the emptiness inside
that makes it livable.

We work with the substantial,
but the emptiness is what we use.

I checked my bank account on computer and it shows

nothing farris

that's the most zen thing I've read yet
