* Wiki/TVTropes itself does it: InfinityPlusOneSword, InfinityMinusOneSword, InfinityPlusOneElement, MoreThanInfinite. As Infinity is not a number (being, ya know, infinite), adding or substracting one means nothing, meaning that infinity +1 and infinity -1 are still infinity and thus the same thing (except if you treat infinity as an ordinal number instead of a cardinal number, but that goes into major MindScrew).

See all related NumberTropes, [[{{Pun}} which can't possibly compare]]. You can however, compare a MouthfulOfPi, which is Infinite in its own way as it goes on and on and..., well, you get the idea. And if you were wondering, that sideways 8 thing is called a Lemniscate.
