I, along with nine-year-old girls everywhere, never stopped believing.
#1 most popular unicorn picture on the net o_O;
I wonder what is the real source of this o_O;
Unicorn, the other red meat.
In point of fact the unicorn should be more of a goat/horse cross. Unicorns should have cloven hooves and a goatlike tail with a tuft on the end, not just a horsetail. They do have the mane of a horse but also tufts on the legs behind the hoof. And the head should be more goatlike as well.
We fantastical creatures have to stick together.
ther was standing beside the barbecue grill, smiling, and he says, "Oh yeah it's pretty hard to come by, but wait til you get a tas
Thanks Orinoco, source of all wisdom as always.
And of course you can't see one unless you're a virgin, right?? But does that apply to photographs?
I like the flighty look in its eye though. And the 'Rapunzel' braided mane.
how did they attach the horn for real?
Could you use spirit gum on a hairy animal like a horse? I think that's what it's called...the "cement" they use in the theatre makeup dept to stick on mustaches, beards, hairpieces and any dodgy bits of facial modification.
I bet the girl who was using this photo as a bookmark was upset when she realised she lost it. I would have been, at that age.
It should have been put up on the library bulletin board for at least a week so the loser could reclaim it.
LOOK! A UNICORN!!!
"There were green alligators, and long necked geese, humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees. Cats and rats and elephants, as soon as you're born, you're never gonna see no unicorn."
PS They were playing silly games when the ark was being loaded....
they do exist!
I knew they were real!!
I think the original was a worth 1000 image for a photoshop contest. http://www.worth1000.com
Kay, nice Shel Silverstein reference.
Jenna was a proud member of the Unicorn Believers Society, and she had a vast collection of unicorn bookmarks. She just gave up on "Baby Mouse: Skater Girl," finding it to be a boring book. She forgot to take her unicorn bookmark when she returned the book.
i think Kay was referring to an Irish Rovers song.
Unicorns no longer exist because they did not get on the ark with Noah before the flood. This must be a very old picture!
Kay and Beeswax are both correct!
The specific song is sung by the Brobdingnagian Bards, but since the Bards borrow other songs and adapt them, I dunno where the original song comes from.
I got a BSC book once that came with a unicorn eraser. I loved that eraser and was devastated when I lost it. I'm sure the girl (or boy) is really sad.
I do believe that is an Arab with a carrot on it's head.
I wonder if their horns are worth lots of money, like the tusks of elephants.
(Dog Breath made me choke on my toast this morning)
Not from MY library.
But I'm thinking this animal was actually used by UPS to make its earliest deliveries.
Fooch, when are you going to learn to stop eating in front of your computer?
@Fooch: Since legend has it that the unicorn's alicorn (or horn) will purify water and cleanse anything it touches, narwhal horn was much sought after up to the end of the Renaissance, since it was sold as "unicorn's horn". It was believed to neutralise poisons. I have seen a cup made from narwhal horn, which was supposed to protect whoever drank from it from being poisoned.
Orinoco...nice info. I am trying to remember if one of the characters in the Harry Potter series had a unicorn for their Patronus.
I have a unicorn horn in my house. It is on the unicorn head, mounted on my wall in the living room.
A friend of mine used to say "I have a large collection of unicorns."
When people would look skeptical at her, she'd reply, "Oh, you can't see them? Well only virgins can see unicorns!"
Orinoco - How does this fit in with your vast expertise in mythical critter factbook??
frankly, I'm surprised no one else has said it:

(Alan, are you still here, posting in cognito?)
@Camelia, it's not that only virgins can *see* unicorns (otherwise who would kill them?) but only a virgin can attract and hold one. Actually otherwise they're quite wild and agressive. Well, you would be too if everyone wanted to kill you for your horn and skin (which is said to revive the dead and heal the sick.) Therefore the famous Bayeux Tapestry and other art, which shows a virginal young lady sitting with a unicorn in a field of flowers, with its head trustingly in her lap (I can just hear him murmuring, "Scratch a little higher; no, behind the^*other* ear. Yeahhh, that's it") while not-so-in the background the huntsmen close in for the kill.
Of course it always makes me wonder how the unicorn could not discern the trap, but it's said they are so fascinated by virginity they can't help themselves. More so these days, I should imagine, since it's rarer than it was.
Other sources say that the Unicorn is a symbol of Christ, which would tie in with the whole purity thing, but other than that...I can't help you there.
This unicorn looks really gay - a bit like that police horse at a demonstration in London a while ago. (Hopefully in pointing this out I won't get arrested by elves or anything.)
What unicorn?
Neil Patrick Harris has eaten mushrooms and is the only one who can see this magical unicorn.
Although I used to regularly create artwork and still have an abiding interest in art, I remember that in school art classes I was comically lazy. When we were supposed to sketch "random objects," (usually a yard sale mixture of toys, weathered shoes, unassuming vases, old lamps, and the like) I'd figure out some "clever" scheme to do as little work as possible. One time in grade school, where the objective was to graphically incorporate as many of the items as we could, I drew a unicorn and used a screw as a "horn," but was immediately admonished by the teacher because "everyone does a unicorn." Anyway, lazy observation: this looks like something that would be hanging in Napoleon Dynamite's locker.
Thank you, Orinoco the Oracle!
