I looked for the earliest recorded occurance of nothing, but couldn't find anything other than a theory.

Overview:

A stone falls to earth for the same reason that warm air rises, and for the same reason that the earth orbits the sun. All motion is motivated by this one source. Thus, heat goes to where there is less heat, air pressure evens itself out, and entropy redistributes matter towards a state of amorphous uniformity. This dynamic underlies every event and gives the universe its particular form.

Evidence of this is seen in the cosmology of the “Big Bang”, which indicates that our universe begins in a state of compressed uniformity – like a “Black Hole”, and is in constant motion towards expanded uniformity via entropy. This perfect uniformity, either expanded or contracted, is indistinguishable from nothingness.

This is because human perception requires the delineation of one thing from another to function. When everything is everywhere in equal quantities (perfect uniformity) nothing is detectable.

I thought outside the box once, but since I was in the box, I couldn't see what I was thinking.

Some say the glass is half full, others say it is half empty.
I say it is purple- George Carlin
 
As Red Green said,Be handy if you can't be handsome

Wow!!

My daughter has a shirt with Asian writing on it and it says Hong Kong on parts and Tokyo on parts of it. When my wife and daughter were in China, she asked the Nurses if they could read it. They said it was a mix of Chinese and Japanese language. My wife thought that was odd, and commented so. I said that maybe the guy who designed it was occident prone.

Thank you, I'll be here all week, or until they ban me.

uhhh....nothing.

That joke was so bad, if I told it to my wife, she would have slapped my hand. We do that in my house when a bad joke or pun is told.

Thankfully, she is upstairs and I don''t think I will repeat it. So, in the slapped hand department -- nothing.

Nothing in transliterated Russian --- nichevo .
 
I am going to go to bed and do some more nothing and continue to get paid for doing nothing fo 8 more hours.
