XD So cute. I wanted to have a unicorn when I was little. wait.. I wanted to BE a unicorn. Ah the naviety of childhood...
^^ I had an entire folder of unicorn pictures for a while actually about 2 years ago. *runs away*

XD Gah. Weird indeed.

Seems that the historical account of "unicorn" was most likely referring to something large and ugly along the lines of a rhino. So yeah... no Charlie...

That was funny. Charlie was like "That doesn't even make any sense." :lol:

Lol, their voices... so annoying but yet.. it fit them so so well XD

Yeah, they all sound like guy voices. I remember Charlie wondering if they were guys or not. XD

Ooh, what a cute deer in the article! ^_^

But seriously, that Charlie stuff is just disturbing. *only saw the first episode...never wants to have anything to do with it again*

On a somewhat unrelated note, I remember reading somewhere that P.T. Barnum once had a "unicorn" in his circus. It was actually a goat who had both its horns fused.

Cool. I wonder if a horse could be genetically engineered to have a horn.

Well, I read somewhere that scientists had GE flies that had eyes on their wings. If you can do that, it shouldn't be tooooo far a stretch to do this. There are a great deal of deer-like animals in Africa - one of them should have an appropriate horn (or two).

Hmm. I wonder if genetically-engineered "unicorns" would be able to reproduce. If so, it'd be like making a new species after a mythological creature. :lol:

I don't think the technology exists at this point, but maybe in the future.

Yeah, after all, I don't think making unicorns is a high priority to researchers atm. XD

The all-powerful unicorn worshipers lobby might disagree.

(Yeah, there really are people who worship unicorns. Let's not go there.

I'm not sure about eyes on wings, but I know swapping fly body parts is not uncommon. This would be like placing legs where antennae usually are. It's basically a process of causing mutations in the genes of certain body parts of the fly. In something as complicated as a horse or deer it will probably be more difficult. But who knows, maybe someday.

Please tell me this unicorn lobby is a bunch of six-year-old girls.

Indeed. ^^

I want a horse with wings and the ability to fly. Pegasi > unicorns. Actually, how about pegasi with unicorn horns - pegacorns. Real, live, flying pegacorns would be as awesome as Strong Bad being named Professor of Awesome at Oxford University, only more so.

Pe! Ga! Corns! Pe! Ga! Corns! Pe! Ga! Corns!

interesting, but ok

I wish I had a pet unicorn.

I wouldn't want a flying unicorn. It could fly away. I would have to have it's wings clipped.

Or maybe it would be so smart it could talk and it would be more like a friend then a pet. That would be awesome!
