Fallacies, Fallacies, Everywhere

My best friend the inter-net has some nice examples of the fallacy of equivocation. Here are two good ones:

What is light cannot be dark.
Therefore, a feather cannot be dark.

Margarine is better than nothing.
Nothing is better than butter.
Therefore, margarine is better than butter.
Also, speaking of non sequiturs, here's a cute cat picture:

Did. Not. See. That. Coming.

Wait, we weren't just speaking of non sequit--Oh. I see what you did there.

Clever.
