W: The key to existence

[stillakid]

I was taking the kids to school this morning and our discussion revealed a disturbing truth...the difference between everything and nothing is the W.

Consider: Whole vs. Hole

In the first, you have everything. All inclusive.

In the second, there is absence.

Now, to have a "hole," you must have "something" surrounding the "absence" itself to define the hole. There must be lines and borders which means that there is "something." In other words, Whole vs. Hole is not the difference between everything and nothing. Rather, it is Everything vs. Something is Missing.

All because of the W.

But what about the other languages?

But what about the other languages?

was andere Sprachen?
qué otras idiomas?
ce qui d'autres langues?
che cosa altre lingue?

[James Boba Fettfield]

Well, it only works in English with whole and hole. Say if we looked at the Spanish equivalents of whole and hole. I don't think the w theory holds true in that case.

You're not thinking fourth dimensionally. Wait, no, that quote doesn't fit this situation.

I'm waiting for the inevitable reference to Dubya.

Wait, I think by saying that, I just made the inevitable reference!

[Bacta Beast]

Oh boy, this is gonna turn into a rancor pit thread real quick!!

I'm waiting for the inevitable reference to Dubya.

Wait, I think by saying that, I just made the inevitable reference!

I thought it was about G Dubs as well after reading the title and seeing who the author was.

I have to admit, I refrained from the reference multiple times.

but you're only applying earthly physics to the issue. there isn't a 'must' about anything unless we apply our human generated laws to nothing versus something. from a non earthly point of view it may well be possible to have nothing without having something around it. Lordy we've barely made it past ten planets in a small galaxy in a vast universe of other galaxies. I think must is a very tiny way of looking.
but then I'm talking through a veil of natural herbal substance smoke, so what do i know huh, WHAT? damn kids......

Waffles are everything. It begins with W too.
