then how do balloons float?
Also, what are your thoughts on the new slogan - "I think, therefore I AM. (Atheist Mafia)?"

I like the slogan.
Balloons float because of fairy dust, everyone knows that.

There is no such thing as the atheist mafia, but helium is lighter than the air it displaces, when it is contained near atmospheric pressure by a sealed barrier. If the mass of the container is low enough, the container will be elevated by the helium.
Balloons are containers made of latex or mylar, and do not weigh enough to prevent the helium inside from rising.
Sorry for being so damn obvious.

Atheist Mafia...hmm
Well, I would say that balloons float for several different reasons...
first would be if they were filled with helium.
Second would be the fact that something filled with air can usually be taken by the wind etc...the wind streams etc keep it in flight just like it does for ducks...

LOL, I like the slogan.
I always thought balloons floated because of helium, but on second thought it may be due to magic fairy dust or maybe even voodoo....

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out consume
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'bout the raisin' of the wrist.
Socrates himself was permanently pissed.
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
after half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away,
'alf a crate of whiskey every day!
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
and Hobbes was fond of his Dram.
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart:
"I drink, therefore I am."
Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed.

There's an Atheist Mafia now? Guess that'd explain the 'AM's I've been seeing next to peoples' names recently.
....can we have cannoli?

I Think it has to do with the Breath of Thor being infused in them, and Thor's natural hatred of water.
