Unicorn Facts

General: Unicorns usually weigh around 1,000 pounds (450 kilos), and don't mind who knows it. They can have extraordinarily long lives. Some experts claim that under normal circumstances, unicorns are immortal. No evidence exists to the contrary. All unicorns are born on February 29th.

Typical habitat: Forests, usually near streams (for which they may or may not be responsible for creating by their presence); also, but rarely, deserts.

Horn: All unicorns have a single horn protruding from the center of the forehead.Not all unicorn horns exhibit magical capabilities. The magical horn of a unicorn is the result of a combination of fairy dust, prayer, and an irregularity on the 29th chromosome.

Powers: Those unicorns with magical horns have powers of healing and of granting certain wishes. The sense of humor of a unicorn is known to diffuse any awkward situation, including, but not limited to, meetings with in-laws, court-ordered community service, and the first day of school.

Social Behavior and Interests:


-despise bawdy jokes, but have been known to drop curse words on occasion.

-do not tend to be outgoing. But they will be your friend, if cornered.

-rarely gather in groups. When they do gather in groups, they find themselves watching their favorite movies.

-will help you move your refrigerator.

-take a lively interest in the soap-opera lives of squirrels.

-are credited with the idea for Read Across America Day (paired with Dr. Suess' birthday celebration on March 2nd).

-enjoy daisies and bananas.

-are incapable of holding a grudge.

-can become annoyed in two ways: by exaggerating their healing powers, or by assuming they have no views on politics, specifically healthcare bills.

-maintain excellent hygiene.

-often read novels, especially when traveling.
