And if we were in conversation over drinks down the pub later on, I might be tempted to say, "Unicorns exist." The fact that I can grammatically predicate 'existence' to 'Unicorns' doesn't actually mean anything about our actual experience of the world. I can also talk about chasing Unicorns in the nude.

Didn't i just say it? (And you did too) However, if you mean you can't logically say that nothing exists, didn't Aristotle say that nothing is the stuff rocks dream of, therefore it is something and therefore it exists? Sorry i wouldn't normally be this pedantic / annoying / philosophical, but you have been talking about chasing a slow moving animal in the nude, so fairs fair.
