My Nothing Entry
spook Started conversation Dec 3, 2002
i have a feeling my nothing entry will become one of the best entries that h2g2 has ever known. i also have a feeling that it will become a very famous entry due to it's journey in peer review, and the heated discussions surrounding it, and also for the mistake ashley made, accidentally accepting a recommendation for it to become part of the edited guide.
so, what can i really say about this entry of mine?
well, firstly, i must say, there's nothing to it! well, there is obviously something to it, but the something at the present time is so complicated that everyone is confused and is moaning about it. well, they were anyway, but know i've said i'm in the process of updating it they shut up about how not ready it is and begun talking about nothing! miraculous to say the least.
well, not really miraculous, but that doesn't take away from anything now does it. it may even add something to nothing, if that makes any sense, which it shouldn't, hence the fact everyone in the peer review thread got confused. they could not accept the logical paths i was following to achieve my conclusions in the entry.
so, i am updating it. i will include so much information when i update the entry fully and announce the update to the peer review that the people will stand in awe of it' magnificense - then say something stupid like the sea is the wrong shade of pink, or my red hat fell off, or i'm not acting spooky enough, or i don't look like an orangefish with my beard . but, in the end, the greatness of the entry will surpass the critics, will make the bow down, and my status on h2g2 will be kissed.
by the way what i just said was total nonsense (non-sense) and there is nothing (no-thing) u can do/use to do about me/against me.
is this journal making u confused?
well, that's it's attempt, please tell em if it succeeds with soem sort of conversation i can work with to say absolutely nothign in what i hope will make the longest post in last 24 hours board. i am really attempting to make the top with this post, although it will probably eb surpassed by somthign better. but i think to myself? how else but through a really long journal entry will u ever make that top spot? that's a though i said to myself, then realised how me and thoughts did not go well together and shut up.
what a convo that was! how interesting i was! how this post is gonna be really long! how the number 42 was mentioned in a book soem guy once once! what was that books name? HHGG H2G2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!
well, i have no idea if this post will be long enough to make a record, but when u think about nothing like i do, u begin to think if in the end it really matters, or whether it really all does mean nothing to, u know, everything.
but, then when u think about it u realise there's nothing to it!
there's nothing left to talk about!
nothing left to say!
perhaps i should just do nothing!
nothing is better then this!
nothing more can come of this!
i guess that's better then nothing really!
really, there's nothing wrong with this!
nothing at all!
there's nothing in what u just said!
u didn't tell me anything - u told me nothing!
there really isn't anything at all in this journal entry - there's just nothing!
there's nothing wrong or spooky about the 13th nothing joke!
well, if u really do have nothing to say about anythign, only about nothing, then post here!
spook - as i haven't said, there's nothing to me at all

what happened tango, is that ashley accidentally hit the accept button when accepting and rejecting recommended entries, which caused the pr thread to be moved back to the entry and a copy of it to be made and it put on the <./>Comingup</.> page.
so, ashley just made 1 mistake which had a number of different consequences. hence the fact this entry will become famous. it has already been recommended twice, rejected once, accepted accidentally once, and even had a copy of it put on recomended status and the entry put on the coming up page. and u said there was nothing to it..

well, i don't think he'd written the acceptance message yet. there must be some sort of message box he left blank cause he meant to reject it or something. but the thing is that both i and the scout that recommended it got e-mail acceptance messages saying the entry had been accepted as part of the guide.
ashley really just made a mess of the whole tings, which proves conclusively that there is more to nothing then doesn't meet the eye.
oh, and just so u know, in a future update i will include information on:
english usage of the word - this will look at all 4 types of the word nothing, how each one of them works and how some sentences can have multiple meanings depending on how u look at it and what othing u use.
the existence of nothing (whether it exists, ever existed, or MUST exist) - this is followed by all the information the entry already contains on noting and more, under the conclusion from the existence of nothing that if nothing does exist, below is what it would have to be like, if u know what i mean, which means that the entry will become extremely good and u wil bow down in awe at some of the depths and philisophical views it will explore on one of the most confusing no-things in the galaxy.
in other words u r gonna oike the update when it's done

The acceptence msg is automatic, so he must have edited it when he spotted his mistake.
