Nothing is nothing! There has to be some nothing to allow the something to work properly.Imagine if there wasn't any nothing in the universe. It'd all be completely full of somethings and we'd all be squished! Yeah! Nothing is nothing!

It should be the first rule of geometry (it is after a pretty basic principle in life), that something is either there, or it isn't.

I chose the second definition since it makes more sense when demonstrated geometrically, also I knew it'd piss you off. :P Well, it’s kind of dubious as to whether 0 is allowed or not, some define a square number to be an integer multiplied by itself, others say it’s a natural number multiplied by itself.
