Today's Atheist Meme of the Day:

It is hypothetically possible that, if you jump out the window, fairies will carry you to the ground. You can't prove with 100% certainty that it won't happen. Are you therefore going to jump out the window? If not, why would you base any other major decision on a religious belief you have no evidence for but that can't be 100% disproved? Pass it on: if we say it enough times to enough people, it may get across

This example always amuses me cause I can show there is a hypothetical chance for you to jump out your window and fall right through the Earth. And I can do it with maths!

Seriously, who needs fairies the reality of the world is weird and wonderful.
