As much as god exists or Eric Draven for that matter. Take one horse.
Paint it pink, put a horn on its head, make it invisible and you have
an invisible pink unicorn. Does this mean its possible? Conventional
Wisdom strictly forbids such an action. Of course Conventional Wisdom
was sadly mistaken about the shape of the earth now wasn't it? The
Earth didn't suddenly decide to become spherical in reaction to a
popular poll. There isn't any proof that you can't have an IPU any
more than there is proof that you can have one. If one is to deny the
existence of the IPU one need to deny the existence of god, santa
claus, truth in advertising, political reform, jesus, and all other
things that are intangible and not present on top of your terminal
staring you right in the face at this moment. Can't have one or the
other, this isn't the 31 flavors of philosophy. Accepting one
inplausable scheme such as waking up alive with all bodily functions
still working requires that one admit that all other inplausable
schemes in the universe are possible. In fact the IPU is
impausability itself.

Is there a point to this?
Yes! The IPU is the cosmic guru of uncertaintly. Since its
invisible it can't possible be pink but it is. You're feeling
uncertain right now aren't you. It is and it isn't at the same time.
Normall only certain cats trapped in boxes with 50% chances to live
could be and not be at the same time. The cat undergoes wave collapse
but the IPU is beyond that. Its is both at the same time because you
can't be certain what the hell it is, pink or invisible because you
can't find it to check. Schrodinger was on the entirely wrong track
with the kitty idea. The IPU isn't sure either since it can't exactly
look in a mirror. It experience the essence of being pink and
invisible at the same time. Such miracles are not easily come by mere
mortal.

So is the IPU god?
No more than David Bowie. The IPU does not have demands of its
followers. It does not demand tribute or place silly restrictions on
their behaviour, dress, where they spend Saturday night, or what brand
of Tequilla they consume. The IPU just is. Accept it believer since
the most holy horn will not skewer you if you choose not to, in fact
the IPU will do NOTHING to you if you don't choose to accept its
existence. This is a non threating religion, we have quite enough of
the treatening kind already.

Where did the IPU come from?
Legend has it that someone on alt.atheism quipped that god(tm) was as
logical as pixies or invisible pink unicorns. A certain someone was
tickled pink (so to speak) by the idea and decided to start a new
religion based on an invisible pink unicorn. This of course is merely
legend and rather silly.
