Not empty. It has snow on it.

I would consider it empty.
The snow hasn't been placed there, it's an empty chair that happens to be out in the elements.

"Not empty. It has snow on it. "
So if it were raining it wouldn't qualify because there was water on it? If a leaf had blown down to rest on the seat it wouldn't be considered empty? What of the molecules of nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide that are resting on it?

the snow and location leave it feeling even more empty than if it had nothing at all on it.

...but...but..."if it had nothing at all on it" THEN it would, in fact, be empty.

I think we've covered this in the past - and the admins were split - I say it ain't empty if it's got snow in it. Other people think weather shouldn't count... and yes, we've had the "full of air" conversation, which denigrated into people being accused of being "full of air", I think.
Hm. I think it's really more a matter of whether or not it's 'out of place' - this is a lawn chair that is, despite the weather, right where it belongs. If it were a desk chair (for instance) I think I might be more easily swayed to thinking it fit the group.

Most chairs that past the test did so with bribery or nepotism. They have nothing on them.

According to Scott Walker, "Emptiness is a place you're in".
Hope this helps :-)

I don't even think it's a chair. Therefore it is neither empty or where it belongs. I think it's a time machine hurdling through a parallel reality. That makes your question a TRICK question and you an evil ninja. An assassin perhaps. But I've outwitted you. I was not fooled for a second.
Now if you'll excuse me, This mask has given me a headache and I still have too pick up my cape from the cleaners before they close.

Yes, it's been nice and quiet around here. Far less administration required, and I've appreciated the break.
Now move along - nothing to see here. ; )

Okay, so if it's not an empty chair, because it's full of snow, or not an office chair, or is actually a time machine -- my fave --, can we agree it's a chair in an empty place? It's a chair right on the bank of a huge Canadian lake IN THE WINTER, which is pretty much like the edge of the world.

Chairs are for people, as my mother explained to me a million times as I would go to throw something onto one. If no person is sitting in it, it's an empty chair, no matter what may be in/on it. This one is extra-empty because the snow gives evidence that it has not been sat in for some time, and even now would not be a welcome place for a human butt, in the absence of which it is empty. It is truly an empty, empty chair.

Well. >mike42...I cant say that your mother is wrong....cuz they know best... but i kinda disagree... i don't see an empty chair....plus long time no sit in chair theory can be that it just snowed on the chair last night and he took an early morning pic. then the chair hasn't be vacant for some time at all....just a day or so!...
**********************************************************************

No ... we're going with definition #1, I'm afraid. Let's get back to the '.....but it's got AIR in it!" whining, please.

Miscelena, you mentioned #7. Devoid is a very interesting word. De-void must surely imply removing the void, getting the void out, and therefore there is whatever is left after a void has been removed, right?

I'm with Vic. The only way to devoid a void is to put something in it. If you devoid a void by removing a void, another void replaces it. Now you have 2 voids. This would be counterproductive would it not.?
The only way to get your picture posted is with bribery or nepotism. Nepotism worked for me. I'm Miss Celanias mom.
So there Sylvie!

a chair is sat or stood on. If it's not empty because it got snow then the snow must be sitting or standing on the chair. But a chair can be used to lay something on, and definitely the snow is laying on the chair. But that's making a chair a table. I'm new here, saw the title and just read this thread and is this really less league of the empty chair than league of the out-of-place chair? Ergo, it's an out-of-place chair because it's being used as a table. Let all table chairs qualify?

We have previously flogged the snowy chair syndrome. Though admittedly this one does lack the lawnmower handle and scotch terrier.

the snowy chair argument is a bit Groundhog Day; how often do the same questions have to be chewed over, before they get boring?
