The Categorical Unsight of Unicorns

u·ni·corn (yoo-ni-korn) - an imaginary creature represented as a white horse with a long horn growing from its forehead.

So if you saw something real, a white horse with a spiral horn protruding out of its forehead with a virgin comely lass on its back and rainbows and magic and the whole deal, it still wouldn't actually be a unicorn because they are by-definition imaginary. Existing unicorns are not unicorns.

Beck seems to think that this sort of thing, or more exactly finding this sort of thing funny, makes me a dork.

I press on.
