Not kids with giant blenders? .. actually didn't James Bond try that

Nope; something either is unique or is not unique; there are no degrees
of uniqueness, only characteristics that makes something unique.

So if something is unique according to criteria A and B but not to C is 
it still unique?
What about something that is  unique according to criteria A and B and C?
Is not everything unique, still you will always find some aspect that 
makes it different from all others?
Just my few questions...

As said upstream, most of the time its usage intends to say "different" 
or "unusual", so adding "very" or "the most" to the intended meaning is 
just an attempt to underscore that quality.

Almost every two purportedly identical collection of atoms are actually 
unique if you dig deep enough.  When we say an artist or an artwork are 
unique, we really mean "unusual" or "very different from their 
corollaries.

That means that there is nothing else that meats criterion A, so it is
unique.  No need to go beyond that.

It would be easier to analyze of we knew what the A and B are that make 
it something that demands to be called unique but where C that is 
commonplace.

Again, an artist's work may be "unique" despite the fact that it--like 
many other canvasses--is in a rectangular frame, was painted with oil, 
is priced extravagantly, and is being housed in a specific gallery.

For instance.

What time did you read them?  I like half past two, myself.  It's a 
really good time because of the joke about going to the dentist.

Omitting the subject is just shorthand, helping to keep the text brief.
I dislike usage like "It needs fixed" or "A couple things" but I can't
get excited about missing subjects in Usenet posts.

Missing subjects in Usenet posts are highly annoying ... it means you
have to open the post to find out what it's about.  ;-)
