In my misspent college youth I actually studied some higher level math that focused almost solely on the concept of nothing, on the empty box, on the null set, I contrmplated φ for a semester, I spent quality time with the big goose egg, conversed with the Zed. I accomplished nothing for a semester, and it was good. The history of nothing, the applications of nothing, the membership of nothing, the cardinality of nothing, the cardinality of nothing, ummm the cardinality of nothing (I seem to be stuck on that one for some reason), the very existence of nothing. We looked at nothing as a concept, nothing as a construct, nothing as a logical building block. We used nothing as a foil, we used it as a basis, and we built 1 and 2 from nothing. We complimented the universe with nothing, and complemented nothing with the universe.
Honestly it was an interesting class, and when my parents asked what I learned that semester, I could look at them and in my most petulant 13 year old voice say, “Nothing!”

The section’s Holiday Hootnanny is this afternoon
Nothing says “Happy Holidays” like a Chinese buffet followed closely by bowling
I mean it. NOTHING says “Happy Holidays” quite that way
Nothing, nil, nada, zilch zip, zero, zed, rien, bumpkiss, the big goose egg, φ, null, null set…
That’s all I got without a consulting Roget
Gimme some synonyms for nothing folks, I need to replenish my lexicon
