But cats do exist; therefore, Russell's teapot exists.

If you think we're having trouble with Russel's cat, wait until I tell you about Schroedinger's Teapot...

And in a nod to Douglas Adams, it contains tea and no tea at the same time.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Three pages and you unbelievers have failed to refute the Teapot. Why do you rebel against the Teapot?

1. If cats exist, Pizza's argument is refuted.
2. Cats exist.
3. Then, Pizza's argument is refuted.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
