Is the crossed-O standing for “zero”, “average”, or a nordic letter?
Well, it is in the ‘weird’ category, so I think it’s probably better left undefined.
Could also be the null set.
Or a simplified NASA mission patch.
Or a typo.
: )
I think that it means that everything weird is beautiful, and the null set shows that you can’t have anything just in “Weird”.
I am weird so I’m all for this one!
@tahrey … the sign is the symbol for NULL … i.e. an empty set. This could have a couple of interpretations: (1) there are no categories of “weird” … if its weird, its just weird; (2) if there is nothing that is weird and not beautiful (because A is NULL), then shouldn’t “weird” be inside “beautiful”?
Just my two cents:
If it’s “weird”, but not beautiful, it’snt weird at all: just odd.
Ha, I LOLed at the null, in a happy way.
looks like a greek phi to me which could mean the golden ratio…
…but the golden ratio is at least as beautiful as is weird so i just proved myself wrong…
Perhaps it’s a diameter, in particular of the wheels of a pelican’s roller-skate; that would be weird
DEEP!…
no so much funny as trully insightful…
…or maybe thats just too much of ‘nuit blanche’ rubbing off on me.
Ahhh never pass up an opportunity. My blog, “Billions of Versions of Normal”, has as it’s desciption -
——
There are billions of people and a version of normal to go along with each one of them. No two versions are exactly the same. There will be hundreds of thousands of little things that make up your version of normal. With any luck you can find people that have close to the same idea of what normal is that you do. These are your friends. Anyone else you try to tolerate as best you can. Sometimes that’s not possible. Avoid these people at all costs. They will be the proverbial pain in your ass.

It’s the null set. Anything weird is also beautiful. Also, this is one of my favorite indexeds ever!
I posit that something can be simultaneously weird, beautiful, and superficial. As evidence I present the films of Quentin Tarantino.
Given this comic’s reliance on Venn diagrams for jokes, it’s pretty sad that it confuses a subset with the full set
I think that for a lot of people everything becomes normal if you see it often enough, no matter how beautiful. Maybe it’s that perceiving things as normal is boring–have some awe for the seemingly mundane, and ya find some beauty.
Hm, I think it only means that the empty set itself is weird. C’mon the set of nothing? Why even speak of a set if there is nothing there, that makes up the set? Not very intuitive. ;)
(Ah, but I’m well aware of the fact, that the empty set is an important formal concept.)
hmmmmm, null/empty set….
OR anything in the Cthulhu Mythos…
Ms. Hagy, this is why I love you.

(Weird and not beautiful) is the null set?
Behold: BLOBFISH (http://fishindex.blogspot.com/2009/02/blobfish-psychrolutes-marcidus.html)
Weird, yes. Beautiful? I’m not so sure. Nothing personal, Blobfish.
That poor old Blobfish made me smile. Therefore, beautiful.
I hypothesize that some things, are in fact, weird but not beautiful.
Some possible candidates for the A set:

Maybe I’m just shortsighted – but I think that the A set, though admittedly small, may not be null after all!
well, beauty is in the eye of the blobholder after all
and thanks for the info ;)
Alternate interpretation: Maybe she’s saying that there simply cannot be a subset of weird.
I.E. if something is weird and part of a set, maybe it’s not so weird after all.
