We may bow and ponder the existence of nothing and pat ourselves on the back for our wisdom, and yet nothingness alone can pat itself on the back and call us the "whores of existence". Our something-oriented brains merely skim the thin ice of nothingness, never daring to crack the surface and plunge into the ice-cold maelstrom of counter-existential absolute lackfulness. HA! you may say, and fondle the slick, black nullity of negation, but in so doing, you prove yourselves slaves to the mundane conventions of linguistic categories. HA! I say, you breach the nugatory membrane between nothing and non-existence, never knowing the nothingness of which never existence did nertify.

Nothing in this thread really matters to me, but I do believe you meant nerdify!

Can you eat an immortal fish? There's nothing in the manual about it, but won't it kinda screw with the definition of immortality?
Get a better manual, they cost virtually nothing these days.

But you'd probably gain nothing from eating an immortal fish even if you tried, because a) it would have to be alive when you eat it (sort of a pre-sushi treatment), and b) it would have to be alive when it exits you (not to mention that it has to be alive in between).

This is a thread for "nothing". The real thing. Absolute, palpable nothing.

I take umbrage at this squalmous attempt to slip mere "virtually nothing" under the door as if it were the real thing. HA!

Have you regard for nothing?!?!?!?!

Your rant tells me nothing but the fact that you are a doofus without a clue as to the "real" reality in real life. Nothingness is as nothingness does, as nobody says.

"Virtually nothing" is a very important existential concept that has everything to do with nothing.

Re: Nothing

All of the content of this thread, if quantified numerically would round to nothing. So this thread is virtually nothing, and as close to nothing as I have encountered. I accept it as nothing more than nothing. Whatever somethings are here are entirely inconsequential.
