Day IV - Nothing

Can one write about nothing?  Definitely not because of course by writing something you've written about something, correct?  I have no idea.  I guess it depends on your at-the-moment concept of nothing.  I start with this since I couldn't think of anything to write about, but the experiment must go on!  There was a funny show on during the 90's that I never heard about before coming to Germany.  It's called Newsradio and had Phil Hartman in it before he passed away.  In an episode just recently watched, he made the point about the phrase "it's nothing."  "'It is nothing' implies an it, which is something."  Of course the way Phil Hartman said the sentence is much funnier than just writing the same.  So then my first sentence of this post means the same thing, no?  Well, I added the word about, didn't I?  You can not write nothing, but you can write about nothing and I did just that.  Sorry to have wasted your time, but it won't be a waste if you try to check out that show I mentioned.  It is a great diversion from physics homework and it's silly stupidity is refreshing in such serious times as these.
