I couldn't help but think that the Knowflakes might be interested in this so I popped in to share. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080611/ap_on_fe_st/italy_unicorn;_ylt=Am1h1JymskwJbs1kAFfDWc7737YB They found a deer in Italy that has a single horn growing in the center of it's forehead. Fascinating, eh? IP: Logged |

Sorry, but that is not entirely correct. quote:
A unicorn (from Latin unus 'one' and cornu 'horn') is a mythological creature often used in fantasy stories, picture book, and novels.Though the modern popular image of the unicorn is sometimes that of a horse differing only in the horn on its forehead, the traditional unicorn has a billy-goat beard, a lion's tail, and cloven hooves - these distinguish it from a horse.

I guess I'm a little jaded because I just think of it as a deformity.
