A supernatural creature whose existence can not be demonstrated, but for which certain facts are nevertheless asserted (if it's invisible, how do you know it's pink?).
Apparently orginating on the alt.athiest usenet group as a way to either argue the existence of God with non-athiests without getting personal, or mock them relentlessly. Sometimes shortened to IPU.
We know the Invisible Pink Unicorn exists, because no matter how hard hard we look we can't see her.

A style of rock that originated in late 60s - early 70s Germany. Musically it seems to extol the machine (Kraftwerk being a leading example) or more commonly industrial decay (Can, Faust, Neu, Einsterzende Neubauten). Amon Duul II actually employed jackhammers in one stage show, to the horror of the concert hall management. Think of punk crossed (however improbably) with prog rock, sometimes with a funky groove underneath it all. Some people regard more ambient bands like Tangerine Dream and Popul Vuh as being part of Krautrock as well.
"What's that god-awful racket?"
"It's Krautrock, mom!"

A form of judicial self-insert fanfic, in which the author of a legal opinion fantasizes that the founding fathers are gushing over them, panties a-drip, "Oh Antonin, you're not like all the other justices, you really GET me; of COURSE corporations are people!"
While the Court's decision breaks with tradition and perfectly encapsulates the prejudices of a racist old white man, the justices defended their opinions by citing the doctrine of Originalism.
