With respect, stratman, SHUT IT!

I'm still trying to flog (US: offload) my CD of BROKEN CHINA, and after the recent posts, it seems I'll need to reassess my offering price. :grin:

Erm...GB£12.50 + £5.00 p&p

I am guessing that "erm" is the same as "umm"

I got an avatar...this is cool!

I'm wondering about it, though...I believe this symbol is also the mathematical "null-set" symbol as well as the statistical "impossible event". Any serious guesses as to why Mr. Thorgerson chose this to be the symbol of Broken China ?

maybe because he thought it would be impossible for anyone to like the album.

Naughty, naughty!

But really, Mr. Thorgerson seems to design very carefully...I wonder what he was thinking?

I think that the "null-set" is a very good symbol for depression. One feels empty and he can do almost nothing.

That makes good sense.

I wonder if there is also an element of contradiction involved? Here are a couple of examples of ways to get the null set or impossible event:

Solving a system of equations and winding up with something like this-- 1=2. Therefore the answer is the null set.

Conducting an experiment such as a coin-toss and ending up with a result that is simultaneously heads and tails, or somehow neither. That is the impossible event.

Any thoughts about where (if anywhere) that might lead?

Are you Canadian, FloydWright? I got my Broken China for like 15 bucks, which is only about $10 American! You'll have to come to Calgary sometime- there's an HMV that has some really cheap, out-of-print CDs.
