- The null koan is the only koan in which there are no pieces that are not weird.
Wouldn't a koan with two pieces leaning against each other such that neither is sitting upright nor lying flat be a koan with no pieces that are not weird?
- Sounds right to me. Can you upload some images of these all-weird koans? Rootbeer 16:22, 29 Apr 2005 (GMT)
