Like math? Apparently, so do unicorns

This is a motivational poster if we’ve ever seen one! Math teachers of the world, time to decorate your classroom walls with awesomeness!

Baconfish, Jetpack Shark, and a comic about a unicorn
.
The panel above is from “Our Sweet Unicorn” by Lucy Kagan, a Junior at Savannah College of Art & Design. Lucy was part of the Mini-Comics Expo on campus with classmates Sydney Anderson of “The Magnificent Life of Baconfish” and Max Young of “Jetpack Shark”.
We’d offer a punchline, but the comic titles beat us to it.

Unicorn thieves? New iPad game makes that a thing
.
In the new iPad game Teeny Green, your precious golden star was stolen by Onicrons (defined in the article above as “unicorn blobs”). The Onicrons’ sticky fingers - er, sticky blob-appendages - are keeping that golden star for themselves, and you as Teeny Green must get that star back!
The irony of the pure and generous unicorn as a burgling misanthrope is not lost on us. But it’s astonishing what can happen when one stops exercising regularly and turns to a diet of fast food and sitcom marathons. Unicorn virtues can really turn to mush when they let themselves go.
So let this be a lesson to all of us to fight the blobbiness!

Mermaid documentary on Animal Planet: Why raise our hopes to crush them so mercilessly?
.
Over this past weekend, you may have caught a very informative documentary on Animal Planet about our sea friends, entitled Mermaids: The Body Found.
Unfortunately, the channel has decided to rain on our oceanic parade by stating via press release that “the film is science fiction, using science as a springboard into imagination.”
Now, unicorns are all for imagination and springboards. But this this springboard launched us into deep sadness. How can we ever again trust the once balanced and fact-filled reporting of Animal Planet? And when will the world finally embrace the marginalized mermaid?
Then again, perhaps Animal Planet got a bit too close to the truth and had to deny it to protect our companions beneath the sea. After all, the documentary’s companion website believeinmermaids.com has already been seized by the U.S. Department of Justice!

This one goes out to all the science-loving unicorn advocates
One possible way to get the whole horn thing started on a poor horse is through a condition known as “cutaneous horn” formation. In this situation, you essentially have an abnormal, sometimes cancerous growth, that results in a keratin structure protruding from the skin.
.
Love science? Then get ready for a boatload of it!
The above paragraph is taken from a blog post by Dave Ng exploring the potential evolutionary biology of the unicorn. Another theory posited: genetic mutation.
But the author is quick to state that these occurrences would only explain the horn, not the magical powers. After all, everyone knows a unicorn’s powers come from the laughter of children mixed with a balanced breakfast of cupcakes.

A unicorn horn that doesn’t just nullify toxins - it eradicates mistakes!

So far, unicorns have been used to open wine bottles, cover up bad memories, transport you in style, and even feed you. But this unicorn will help you write your novel!
No more excuses, aspiring writers. It’s time to put your money where you ambitions are and let this unicorn pencil sharpener lead you into literary greatness!

Controversy! Is a unicorn running for President?
.
A petition is making its way around Arizona calling for an investigation into Republican candidate Mitt Romney’s true origins. Is his coiffed hair covering a unicorn horn?
This petition is in response to the investigation by AZ Secretary of State Ken Bennett into President Obama’s birthplace. That question has since been resolved, but Romney’s potential for unicornism remains to be determined.
We are glad to see that unicorns could be making significant progress in the public eye. Unfortunately, politics have been known to turn many a unicorn into a horse.

What could be better than a surly-looking rainbow-maned unicorn greeting you each time you turn on your phone?

What if your sparkling Twinkletoes unicorn decided on a more natural summer look? Artist Reptanglian (AKA, M. Peña) has provided an answer with her work “Super Natural Unicorns”. Each unicorn is airbrushed and hand-painted to look a bit more like the animal kingdom, and you can even purchase one. (Which one arrives to you is a surprise!)
Hmmm… A magical creature that wishes it was a bit more normal? Dr. Bruce Banner should tell these unicorns how successful that strategy is.

UniCarl plays prank on Kegasus - YouTube
This Saturday, 5.19.12, Kegasus returns to InfieldFest at Preakness, the Baltimore horse-racing event. And this year, he’s brought an assistant: UniCarl.
It seems that moderation and tact are not on the forefront of these creatures’ minds, but if you like beer + rock-n-roll you’ll all get along just fine.
If you don’t, there are probably some mint juleps and giant hats you can enjoy at the races. Well, as close to mint juleps and giant hats as Baltimore gets.
