  • "And the peasant brought forth his oats and his wheat and his many grains; And the Invisible Pink Unicorn witnessed this event; And She declared, 'Neigh, neigh neigh.' And there was much rejoicing." - Feshuud 5:17-20 From Wikipedia: The Invisible Pink Unicorn (IPU) is the goddess of a satiric parody religion aimed at theistic beliefs, which takes the form of a unicorn that is paradoxically both invisible and pink. These attributes serve to satirize the apparent contradictions in properties that some attribute to a theistic God. The IPU is commonly used to highlight the perceived fallacious or arbitrary nature of supernatural beliefs by, for example, replacing the word "God" in any theistic statement with "Invisible Pink Unicorn". A quote from the alt.atheism FAQ sums up this use of the Invisible Pink Unicorn: "The point of this silliness is to prod the theist into remembering that their preaching is likely to be viewed by atheists as having all the credibility and seriousness of [the atheists'] preaching about the IPU." It is accepted that there are no actual believers in this mock goddess, but it has become popular, especially on atheist web sites and on-line discussion forums, to feign belief in her both for the sake of humor and as a form of critique or satire of theistic belief. These professions of faith also serve to demonstrate the difficulty of refuting avowals of belief in phenomena outside human perception. - http://www.answers.com/topic/invisible-pink-unicorn Reference: http://filer.case.edu/~bct4/ http://ipu.secularlife.org/ Quotes: "We know the Invisible Pink Unicorn exists, because no matter how hard hard we look we can't see her." - http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Invisible+Pink+Unicorn "If you feel it is the duty of others to refute the claim, and not of yourself to support it, then how about refuting the existence of invisible pink unicorns?" - http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A18592815 "Her IPUship is, of course invisible... it is only through faith that we can see Her divine pinkness." - http://www.infidels.org/misc/ipu/ipu.html Humor: http://www.palmyria.co.uk/humour/ipu.htm http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Bit/6458/pinkunicorns.html Images from Wikimedia Commons and invisiblepinkunicorn.com:

  • The pink unicorn is invisible so no one knows.
  • The Invisible Pink Unicorn (Peace be upon her holy hooves) is the eternal foe of pepperoni and mushroom pizza and the Purple Oyster (of Doom): http://www.palmyria.co.uk/humour/ipu.htm#frpo May possibly be dating/a good friend of the FSM.
