Origin of the invisible pink (or purple) unicorn

Does anybody know how it got started? I am seeing it on more and more boards.

You’re seeing an invisible unicorn more and more frequently?

You are clearly a boobie, and belong in the boobie-hatch.

All you wanted to know about The Invisible Pink Unicorn, but were afraid to ask.

IIRC, the IPU was first revealed to the world via usenet.

The IPU (pbhhhh) is a creation of alt.atheism on Usenet.

We use it to confound and confuse our more…umm…zealous theist posters. :slight_smile:

Binky, the 900 Foot Carrot God, is her profit.

Works on several levels - prove there isn’t one is always good, and explaining how we take it on “faith” that She’s pink is always good for a few posts as well.

Do you have any idea when did it get started?

The earliest I can Google it back is March 17, 1992 in alt.atheism. a.a. oldtimers credit Jeff Young with Her invention.
