Fallacies, Fallacies, Everywhere

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

Karl is a jackass.
Therefore, Karl has long ears.
Margarine is better than nothing.

Therefore margarine is better than butter.
Also, speaking of non sequiturs, here's a cute cat picture:

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

Clever.
