The philosophy of Nothing

I have a philosophical problem with this portion of the spec:
> Nothing is a subtype of every obect type.

How can something be a subtype of nothing? I think my philosophy
professors would have flunked me in college if I were to assert that.
:-)

Are we really going to see java.lang.Object now as a subtype of
java.lang.Nothing in the API docs?
