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?
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.
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.
