The battle of Halys was the culmination of a six year war between the Medes and the Lydians in Ancient Greece, 585 BC - both sides stopped fighting and negotiated peace terms on account of a solar eclipse.

In Elizabethan England, the word 'Nothing' was slang for female genitalia. The title of the Shakespeare play 'Much Ado About Nothing' is a double entendre.

Also used in Hamlet, in the innuendo-laden dialogue between Hamlet and Ophelia when they watch the play (Act 3 Scene 2).

Hamlet: Lady, shall I lie in your lap?

Ophelia: No, my lord.

Hamlet: I mean, my head upon your lap?

Ophelia: Ay, my lord.

Hamlet: Do you think I meant country matters?

Ophelia: I think nothing, my lord.

Hamlet: That's a fair thought to lie between maids' legs.

Ophelia: What is, my lord?

Hamlet: Nothing.
