"The streets are wet only after it has rained" seems to be an invalid premise to me, since it takes the form of "if and only if", which dosen't apply to this scenario.

[edit] Example From Frank Lampard Discussion

Bit of cross referencing from another Wikipedia article, user Yu5uF came up with this. Is this an example of an argument that uses more than one false premises? Can the conclusion still be true even if the argument is drivel?

1. Nicknames are nice, not something insulting.
2. Crouch's nickname Freak is humourous.
3. 'Fat Lampard' or other things are insulting not humorous.

C. Therefore 'Fat Lampard' is not a Nickname.
