Invisible Pink Unicorns are beings of great and mystical powers. We know
this because they are capable of being both invisible and pink at the same
time. The religion of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based on both faith
and logic. Faith tell us that they are pink; through logic, we know they
are invisible...
