Couldn't think of a topic, so thought that this would do for now.
Everything is kinda big, just in case you didn't know. Though it is different to infinity; infinity means something goes on forever in either time or space (in time, if it goes infinitely in either direction it's called infinite, as well as if it does both. In space, it has 3 different dimensions that it can currently be infinite in, but it's quite possible that could change at some point in the future when they discover a spiral dimension or something), while everything means...well, everything. It's a little hard to define, really.
But people seem to be quite quick these days to say, "It's got everything!" Even the kitchen sink? How about Pachelbel's kitchen sink? Didn't think so. :P People often don't seem to get that "everything" really means everything. And nothing's got everything. That is, nothing has...er...
That's the other annoying thing. As soon as you start using words like nothing and everything, it's darn hard to say what you're trying to say. For example, saying that nothing's got everything could mean one of two different things: either there is actually nothing around that has absolutely everything, or it is nothing that actually has everything. Which makes no sense, but that's partly a fault of the words, and partly the English language. Gotta love it.
