What do we know about unicorns?

[Mysterian]

I'm sure I remember hearing about then being able to teleport, and I've heard about them granting wishes. Can we use this thread to collate all the unicorn facts please. This might be vital information one day.

1. They are quite vain. The pair with the Ark tickets spent so long looking at their reflections in the water that they missed the boat with Noah.

*Well surely it depends on who's the Mama and who's the Daddy? So Daddy got the horn, Unigaus Mama got the horn Pegacorn

But I assume their offsprings are infertile, like the Ass*

WOW. Just, WOW.

Seriously hoping you're not involved with any actual unicorn husbandry.

What?? You're gonna tell a unicorn and a pwgasus their love is WRONG??

No, but the foal is an alicorn or a pegacorn, which are 2 names for the same thing.

I wonder how many people have ever seen a baby one, actually...

No, but the foal is an alicorn or a pegacorn, which are 2 names for the same thing.
That's not how it works with Tions and Ligers

Also DH insists Pegasus was a singular dude and so no such thing as cross-breeds which is stupid cos he doesn't know the dude didn't get it on with a horse, unicorn or donkey

It's TIGON! They never stop growing, you know. They lack the hormone that stops growth. Terrifying.

I hope Pegasus didn't get it on with a donkey. Pegus-ass is quite a good name, but imagine how clumsy it'd be, flying about getting its massive ears caught in its wings...

They lack the hormone that stops growth. Terrifying. I didn't know that

Maybe the Donkey just looked real pretty thst night, he'd had a few over fermented apples, and he thought their ears were cute...

They go from a valuation of zero to a billion in a day.

When you make a film about the last one it's really, really sad.

I've also heard that they're proper vicious and would stab you as soon as look at you.

But really

That unicorn's had quite a lot of pies.

@Aroundtheworldin80moves some people I know thought narwhals were mythical creatures
Anyhoo.... if you file the hooves of a unicorn it is pure flying dust.

They don't eat baked beans according to my five year old great niece who is already a world authority on unicorns. They like strawberry yoghurt, but not if it's got bits in. It's entirely a coincidence that she and unicorns have similar dietary opinions.

The horns themselves are called alicorns (as well as the flying ones), could be bought powdered in London pharmacies until the 1700s, and are used by the vicious buggers to impale people and roast marshmallows. Sometimes simultaneously

Also a fear of unicorns is monokerophobia

I'm actually a quarter unicorn. On my mother's side. I don't have an actual horn, but my nose is greatly admired.

I can confirm that AdaFromYorkshire's niece is correct about the baked beans, but sadly wrong about the strawberry yoghurt, becausei unicorns love them with bits in.

Do you reckon a unicorn would get it on a rhino? I mean not every woman wants some posh stallion, some like a guy a but rougher and more homely.

I wouldn't bother with Scotsnet, I don't think most Scots actually know the history of it. .www.scottish-at-heart.com/unicorn-of-scotland.html

I have nothing to contribute fact wise and actually have no real interest in unicorns, but this thread is so joyous I just want to lie down and roll around in it...

Do I have to go back the real world? I promise to believe in unicorns if I can stay.
(oh, that's says this emoji is a daffodil - I thought it was a wand!).

I heard you can get them deep fried in Scotland

Why aren't they called unihorns?

Favourite food is ice cream.

Women with the womb abnormality called a unicornuate uterus give birth to baby unicorns.

@StripeyBananas Because then a cornucopia would have to be called a 'hornucopia', and that's just ridiculous.

Their hooves leave silvery prints, elves ride them and they eat candyfloss! Duh

Why aren't they called unihorns?
Because they're refined creatures with a Latin based name. 'Cornu' - cf cornucopia, cornet .... which brings us nicely back to ice cream

They're on the cover of our passports
