Nothing
When you google nothing, you get search suggestions. Nothing but noodles, nothing is promised lyrics, nothing but trouble, nothing ventured nothing gained, nothing else matters. One point four billion results await you. Google should know that the first page of results is the only one used.
The top result, possibly paid for, is at bandcamp. “People often wonder why Philadelphia’s NOTHING are so damn loud. In the case of many artists, the volume stems from a preoccupation with negativity, …” The third result is a tumblr for the same band. Result number four is the band on facebook. One listening, of one song, is all that this sunday morning will allow.
The second result is the nothing page at wikipedia. Philosophers find the concept of nothingness to be worthy of consideration. Number five is a dictionary entry. “Word Origin and History for nothing. n. Old English naþing, naðinc, from nan “not one” (see none) + þing “thing” (see thing). Meaning “insignificant thing” is from c.1600. As an adverb from c.1200. As an adjective from 1961.”
Result number six is a plot of land in Nothing AZ. Seven is a marketing platform. “We have nothing to do, nothing to eat, nothing to wear, nothing to say, and many other concepts. We are pleased to announce that nothing is available at this time! We are so excited about nothing that we can’t wait to tell everyone about “it”. Order Today!”
Amazon takes over number eight with Gift of Nothing by Cub. Utah Guy gave a one star review. “Do you people not understand what awesome and epic forces you are meddling with here? Sure, it’s safe for now in the cute little package, tee hee you giggle as think of the look your friend will give you when they open it, but what about when they OPEN it? Who are you to unleash The Nothing on the world? Do the struggles of Balthazar and Atreyu mean so little? Was the sacrifice of Pyornkrachzark in vain? THERE WON’T BE A LUCK DRAGON TO SAVE US THIS TIME! STOP BUYING THE NOTHING BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!”
The last result on page one is Nothing Bundt Cakes. ” And perfection are those decadent, slowly melting bites, we all know and love.” Franchises are available. Pictures today are from “The Special Collections and Archives, Georgia State University Library”.
