Yep... depends on whether you are talkin' about things or stuff. A lot of deep physics, there... we have stuff (hardware) that consists of things (wrenches) that are made of stuff (steel), but that stuff in turn is made of things (atoms) which are made of smaller things (protons, etc.) which are made of smaller things (quarks) which are made of... ? Unfortunately it seems that most of our "stuff" is empty space. :(
