my question of the night:
Why do we call horses with a horn 'unicorn'? The 'uni' makes sense, meaning one in latin, but 'corn'? what does corn have to do with anything? Maybe some baby mispronounced it and it just stuck? Ideas?

[Delthion]

It's derived from the Latin actually. Cornu being a fourth declension masculine noun meaning horn. This combining with uni- combines to literally mean "One horn".

[The Skarzs]

So what you're saying is that anything with one horn is a unicorn.

[Cornflower MM]

I accept rhinos as unicorns.

[The Skarzs]

Clearly.

[Russa Nodrey]

And narwhals.

[The Skarzs]

That's a task.

I think I'll put a card board paper towel role on a cat's head, and sell it on Amazon for a million bucks!
