You know, in my head, a unicorn wasn't really any different than a zebra.

I mean, in terms of believability, I think the unicorn's really ahead of the dinosaur.

What do you mean?

Well, I mean, when you think about a dinosaur, it's like from a kid's perspective.

A dinosaur is like these really large, you know, monstrous animals roaming the earth.

And then you have a unicorn, which is basically just a horse with a horn.

It was about a group of five to seven people kind of standing around the keg just talking.

And somehow a discussion of endangered species came up in which I posed the question, is the unicorn endangered or extinct?

And basically there was a big gap of silence.

And then everybody laughed.

And then that laughter was followed by more silence when they realized I wasn't laughing.

And I was like, yeah, I, oh, God, unicorns aren't real.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.
