I don't totally agree with (or for that matter fully understand) what sae was talking about, but as for 'nothing' and by that i assume you mean absolute nothing - it is defined conceptually as something that has no attributes at all (does not exist), which at first sounds like an attribute it's self - but this is only an attribute of the concept of nothing, and since concepts exist and everything that exists has at least one attribute, the concept of nothing must have an attribute, even though what it is defining has none.
