Why not?

There might be lots of nothings too, but if there are, there's nobody in them to see them. So only the somethings ever get observed.

Think nothing of it.

To enable the question.

Because something stops nothing from being, but *nothing* can stop something from being... =:o}

Because of everything.

Reading Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol are we?

Because you touch yourself at night.

From a Pagan POV, this is a perfectly reasonable answer.

Not for ages, though it was pretty q00l. Nobody for President!

if that were the case, the question would be "why do i have giant scissors for hands? or "why can i only speak in gibberish?".

or perhaps it would be "bit book soft fresh trade, went try human wish experience! no know suit number milk hold-well?"

Because then there would be no one around to even notice there is nothing.

I did wonder why the Universe was shaped like an immense vibrator.

There isn't. You only think there is.

... I don't think I like the way this is heading.

because where else would we put all this stuff?

the only place Doom Patrol disappointed was in its complete lack of Wapanese Dick-girls named Freddy who draw their own Jack Chick tracts.

Because I forgot to clean it up. Sorry.

If there weren't, there'd be nothing to ask the question.

[identity profile] insaneizzi.livejournal.com 2005-10-25 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Because nobody's perfect.

This won't surprise you in the least -- that book helped shaped my worldview.

Ah, Mr. Nobody. "Are we not proof that the universe is a drooling idiot with no fashion sense?"

Conversely, it could be "Why is there something instead of nothing," as Rebis asked the Priests of Orqwith? :-P

...so far as YOU know they weren't there. ;-)
