Nothing

Something, nothing really covers a lot of territory for one thread, ya know? Kinda like someone going into the main forum and asking "How do I make money online."

You made one very good point here - it is possible. (That's the only point in this)

If I remove an off topic thread, doesn't that make it even more off topic, hence it belongs in this forum anyway.

Oh, the drama.

It is possible for something to come out of nothing. But when you delete something, sometimes nothing happens. Eventually, it comes down to a point but never nothing. Remember the whole universe began as nothing but a point. Then bang ... you suddenly got something. Is this your point here? -> .

Nah, I think you have something there. Everybody who's got nothin' has got at least one thing, The American Dream, that everybody who has nothing has the potential to end up with loads of something and anything.

What I don't understand is people who say thanks for nothing. That just seems overly polite.

When someone says thanks for nothing, it is not considered to be polite.
It's a sarcastic no thanks for something that was nothing.

  I had some, but I ate them up in The Rock & Roll Musical Obscurity Thread. So I guess that counts for nothing, or something like that.

Actually your humorous intention was shining through very brightly. My humor was just a reflection on something I thought that you thought meant nothing. Apparently that didn't shine through very well. But oh well, it's really nothing. There's no reason to make something out of nothing. That's my point. -> .

This is not singing, Steven; not by a long shot. What you are referring to is "noting" which means singing, not nothing. Of course, the word for singing, "noting" is very Old English, but that also says something about our old age. (Afterall, you did say that you are old and senile, did you not?) Anyway, if someone here is taking a shot at not, it would be something of note, but it's nothing. And this is such a very special something, that of all people, you - the man of great note, would come here and make so much ado about nothing.

Note: Something you should read for this to make more sense is "Much Ado About Nothing". Reading it again if you have not already would not be for naught.

There does seem to be a whole lot of something from nothing! Is there really a nothing? Seems to me since the word nothing exists, it must be something!

Therefore something is nothing and nothing is something!

I have done extensive research on nothing, but I am still in the process of researching something. What I have found out so far is that if you try to take something from nothing you have nothing. But if you take nothing from something you have something. And, if you take nothing from nothing you have nothing. Nothing makes sense to me, but I still don't understand something. Not the part where you take all of something from something, anyone knows you will have nothing. That part is easy. When it starts getting confusing, though, is when you take just a little bit of something from something. Is it still something, or what is it? That's what makes no sense, and no one can really answer that question about something.

Sure you can, you have 2 somethings, 1 something missing a little something and another just a little something!
Nothing more than that statement tells me you think too much about something!:p

Did someone say stop it, stop it, no more singing or something? That means noting, you know. Noting actually is a very very Old English word (much older even than Steven) which means singing nowadays. Of course that really means nothing here either, but note that Billy Preston is noting nothing from nothing is nothing, or something like that. It really gives you something to think about if you have nothing else to think about. But that's not the point. You just gotta have something to go on, and you ain't seen nothing yet. And maybe you never will. But Billy Preston was right; something is wrong. There's just too much about nothing here, and nothing about something. In all of my research on nothing, I have found nothing. So having found nothing, it seems to me that nothing is really something. If I am right, then nothing is wrong. But it also means something is wrong. Am I right? This is the paradox and it's driving me crazy; if nothing is wrong, and nothing is something, that means something is still wrong. How can it be that both something is wrong, and nothing is wrong? There is something definitely wrong about that. All I really know is some people may know something about something, and others may know nothing about something, but I know nothing about nothing. :confused:

That's easy - it you take something from something, you have something less.

not the point I was trying to make here

Could it be you forgot to sharpen the point?

OK, MYOB, think of it like this! Nothing does mean something!
Zero means nothing, but is something, it is zero;
Zilch means nothing, but it exists, therefore being something, if only to describe nothing!

Same could be said of zip and nada, nil and nix! They all are something because they are names for nothing and names are something!

See, you get somethingness out of nothingness!

If I had said, "Thanks for something", it would sound like nothing, and that is not what I meant. All of your help and unselfish devotion means something to me, but don't take that wrong. Nothing seems right to show my deepest gratitude, so I really want to thank you for nothing. I wish I could give you something, but it would be just like nothing, zero zilch nada, nil, nix. It's something like out of nothingness there comes somethingness, and that is all that really matters.
