Au contraire, nothing requires large groups of people! Take Oakland for example! Or :) ! or :hihi: ! Very social!

 

Nothing is *really* good on Friday! :evil:

Hiccup!

 

We start, then, with nothing, pure zero. But this is not the nothing of negation. For not means other than, and other is merely a synonym of the ordinal numeral second. As such it implies a first; while the present pure zero is prior to every first. The nothing of negation is the nothing of death, which comes second to, or after, everything. But this pure zero is the nothing of not having been born. There is no individual thing, no compulsion, outward nor inward, no law. It is the germinal nothing, in which the whole universe is involved or foreshadowed. As such, it is absolutely undefined and unlimited possibility -- boundless possibility. There is no compulsion and no law. It is boundless freedom.

 

Charles S. Peirce, "Logic of Events" (1898)

Girl pirates are cool, granted. But boy pirates get the 'yarr, matey' accent, and look cooler with stump legs and hooks than girl pirates do.

Pirate version: what's your reaction to this line: "I've crushed seventeen men's skulls between me thighs!"

 

Yar!
