    I used to work at a DVD store, and sometimes we’d get a huge box with a single DVD at the bottom, and a ton of those plastic bags full of air to cushion it. When one of those packages arrived, I’d loudly announce, “Thank god! Our air arrived!” Then I’d tear it open and we’d all gasp like we’d been holding our breaths waiting for it.

    For some reason DHL managed to get a null-string into their system a few years back, which meant that any DHL shipments to me - no matter what the seller had entered - had “null” as the receiver in the system.

      SCP Agent: What’s in the box?

      SCP Scientist: Nothing

      SCP Agent: So, what’s the big deal? Just open it. Or toss it out. I almost tripped on it and spilled my coffee…

      SCP Scientist: You don’t understand. Our measurements show that there’s nothing in the box. It contains, or rather doesn’t contain, a complete absence of space, time, and matter. It’s a hole in the universe that is inexplicably cordoned off from the air in this room, and everything else in it, by a flimsy cardboard shell.

      SCP Agent:

      SCP Agent: Is that bad?

      SCP Scientist: Very.
