Unicorns, you know, those majestic one-horned creatures that everyone is telling you do not exist and never did exist? Well, they are completely wrong and here are ten facts that not only prove the existence of Unicorns, but also prove that these non-believers are actually just haters. Love the rainbow and embrace the unicorn. If you can believe in unicorns, you might just be lucky enough to spot one of these magical beings.

1. Unicorns have been cited in Western literature on more than one occasion. The earliest record belongs to Greek historian, Ctesias. In the 5th century BCE, Ctesias wrote that the creature had a white body, purple head, blue eyes, and a multicolored horn – red at the tip, black in the middle, and white at the base.

2. Unicorns are mentioned FIVE times in the King James version of the Bible as well as in five different books by Balaam, Moses, David, Isaiah, and even God himself in the book of Job. Modern translations of the Bible do not make mention of Unicorns directly, rather, they say “wild ox” or even “buffalo”. Though, it can be understood why modern translation would use references to animals that are proven to exist, in order to avoid comparisons of the Bible to myths and fairy tales.

3. Depictions of unicorns appear in many famous works of art, tapestries, literature, sculptures, and heraldry (such as The coat of arms of the King John Sigismund Zápolya of Hungary in the 16th century). The “Unicorn Tapestries” are probably the most famous of all unicorn tapestries. They are a magnificent series of tapestries from the late medieval times (around 1500) and most likely woven in the Low Countries in Brussels. The series of seven tapestries hang in the Cloisters division of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

4. There is a Unicorn Constellation and it is named ‘Monoceros’. The unicorn was enshrined in the stars in 1612 when the Dutch theologian, Petrus Plancius, included the unicorn constellation on his celestial globe.  It was the German mathematician, Jakob Bartsch, who brought the constellation into general use on his star charts in 1624. The constellation is located on the celestial equator between Prion and Hydra.

5. Like other creatures, the Unicorn is driven by sexual desire. The intelligence and vigor of unicorns can be comparable to man, hence man and unicorns’ constant fascination with each other. Man’s drive to hunt these majestic creatures and extract their power can be explained by their sexual prowess and ability to attract beautiful virgins. It was also said that only virgins were able to tame unicorns. There are many depictions of young virgins entering the forests and a unicorn would approach the girl and rest his head on her lap. The unicorn then falls asleep in the virgins lap. This relationship between the virgin and the unicorn became an allegory for the relationship between the Virgin Mary and Christ during the Middle Ages.

8. Unicorns were hunted throughout history. The natural attraction between unicorns and virgins and the ability for virgins to attract and tame unicorns rendered them vulnerable to the desires of men. In recognizing unicorns’ weakness (virgins), men learned exactly how to trap them and kill these creatures. Men would use virgins to lure in unicorns, only to be slaughtered by men.There are accounts and art depicting how to perform this gruesome act of killing a unicorn. There were different strategies on how to commit the final act, but most often, a virgin was used to lure them in.

7. The incredible desire by man to obtain a unicorn horn for its magical and medicinal properties. The material obtained from grinding down a unicorn horn is called ‘Alicorn’. Alicorn powder was believed to cure many diseases as well as detect poisons. Obtaining a unicorn horn, or alicorn, was such a widely held desire that it lead to the near destruction of the narwhal population, a species of whale that grows a long and twisted extra tooth that resembles a unicorn horn. These horns were sold as counterfeit unicorn horns. Scandinavians kept these ‘Unicorns of the Sea’ a secret for over 500 years! Fooling everyone who purchased these horns thinking they were from a unicorn. The narwhal’s tusk was worth much more than its weight in gold. Today, these incredible medium sized whales are nearly extinct due to hunting.

8. An important fact but often overlooked: People often say, ‘How can Unicorns exist if nobody has found Unicorn droppings (excrement)?’and these are the same reasons they cite against the existence of Big Foot. First, Big Foot and Unicorns cannot be compared. Secondly, Unicorns are MAGICAL, which means that they don’t go around pooping like the rest of the animal Kingdom. Unicorns excrete magical fairy dust that creates a rainbow but vanishes in a matter of seconds. Hence the difficulty in tracking them down or to discover evidence of their existence. This cartoon is probably the most accurate depiction of what occurs since we could not find actual footage for obvious reasons.

9. This girl knows unicorns exist and because of this, look how upset she is that her Mother won’t get her “a real live unicorn”. She is still too young to realize that she cannot keep a pet unicorn…

10. Unicorn Man ACTUALLY exists. He is real, living, colorful, and sexual.

Lastly, if you still do not believe in the existence of unicorns, North Korea can provide you with indisputable proof. In November 2012, a North Korean state news agency reported that archaeologists have discovered the lair of a unicorn that was once ridden by King Tongmyong, founder of Koguryŏ, an ancient Korean kingdom.

Fashion these days seems to focus too much on the body and not enough on the design details – producing designs that draw too much attention to our physical features, good or bad, and the spotlight is on the body and how the design complements our curves, cleavage, or if it can shrink our waist, and lengthen our legs

Children’s clothing, however, avoids this emphasis on the body- for obvious reasons. The result? Beautiful clothing designs that focus on detail, materials, accessories, color palate, and overall aesthetic appeal of the entire ensemble. In children’s fashion, we see pops of color, lace, and empire waists, which often times would be seen as fashion faux pas for a tall and slim woman to wear because she actively chose not to cinch the waist, and, instead, decided to cover her tiny mid-section with an empire design, which is still totally cute! What about big bright bows and lace decorated with little pearls? Or hot pink cowboy boots and dresses with ruffles up to our waists!? Even if we wanted to wear these designs, it is even hard to find them in adult sizes. So we are looking to children’s clothes for inspiration!

If we see past the social norms that dictate the dimensions of adult fashion and children’s fashion, what brands and designs would we love to wear?

This Parisian inspired look by Monnalisa sold by LOL Kids Armonk is just too adorable. If I wore this, I would probably look like I just failed at an audition for Midnight in Paris! Despite this fact, I wish they made this ensemble for adults.

This would have been the perfect Valentine’s Day outfit, if you wanted to look like a Victoria Secret Angel walking through the streets. Why can’t baby-doll dresses and feather trim be okay for adults to wear!?!

Next we have an amazing Camo Jumper by Monnalisa and sold at LOL Kids Armonk. The Jumper, which can also be called a Onesie, is a light gray, green, and pink camo print with ruffles, elastic, and a big bow. This is the perfect look for Spring. Acceptable or unacceptable for a adult to wear? Even though I might be labeled an Adult Baby…or some other weird label such as a ‘Want-to-Be Cherub’…I would totally wear this!

Trends in boys’ clothing for Spring 2014 appear heavy on the pastels, collared shirts, and button accents. The preppy ensembles resemble those that you would see from JCrew men’s collection. Either way, man or woman, I would totally wear these boys’ clothing items.

The first look we have is a light gray pullover with colored buttons and striped color-blocked elbow pads by Spitfire.

The next item we chose to feature are these amazing and adorable polkadot pants by Silvian Heach Kids. The pants are navy blue with periwinkle polkadots and a brown belt. The belt itself has beautiful details. Instead of just simple holes, the belt has cut-outs of stars, hearts, and squares. The attention to detail during the design of these pants is truly impeccable. We want them in adult sizes!

The following listings on Craigslist.com are from individuals that could possibly be members of the same satanic cult as the Craigslist serial killer, Miranda Barbour. Barbour, who recently admitted to killing at least 22 men through posting fake adverts on Craigslist.com offering “companionship”, has incited quite the cult following. Members of the satanic cult are cropping up all over Craigslist.com to carry out her mission, which has been halted due to her recent arrest.

Listed below are just a few of the posts that are potentially connected to Barbour’s cult. We will proceed to highlight some key features of these posts to help you determine whether you are responding to a Craigslist killer, or just a creepy man and/or woman that is truly just offering his/her skills at cunnilingus.

This individual is at the fruitful age of 20 – 72 years old. That is quite a range, but the good news is that in 52 years, he will look just like Leonardo DeCaprio!

The Verdict: Not a serial killer – His post is way too specific to be a serial killer on Craigslist – Underwater Basket-Weaving is difficult! Plus, he is only seeking Venetian women. Thus, his post is not likely to get too many respondents.

HINT: Craigslist killers like to keep it more general to attract a greater number of respondents. This guy just takes the gold for creativity, ambiguity AND creepiness.

Stalking is not attractive, or legal, and I doubt this person got a reply. Why are we not surprised that something as outright creepy as this A) happened in Jersey Shore and B) The person actually had enough confidence that the person who they were following would check Craigslist to find the creepy potential rapist that stalked them all the way home AND proceed to connect with them.

The Verdict: Not a Serial killer – just someone that desperately needs a reality check and a restraining order against them.

This guy really knows he has a problem…and he has achieved the first step towards recovery, that being, admitting you have a problem. So at least he is trying and alerting you to help him with his issues by NOT LEAVING YOUR PANTYHOSE UNATTENDED.

He proceeds to include many pictures of women in bondage…which is actually just strange. What is this fellow aiming at here? Women are to blame for his ‘problems’? Should the ladies be punished for leaving their panties unattended? Well, ladies, tisk tisk for not remembering there are laundry diggers after your precious “pantyhose, tights and stockings”. We weren’t aware that these items were such hot commodities. If you leave you panties in the dryer your sheer (lol) inconsideration is leading to epic masturbation on the part of this Park Slope Panty Creeper.

Remember your panties and be considerate! You wouldn’t want to incite another one’s sexual perversions with your devious dryer games? Or would you…

The Verdict: Not a serial Killer – just a panty raper…

Tell me what? Where? What do you want to tell me? Do you want to kill me? Secrets are no fun, especially when you are part of this one.

The Verdict: Possibly a Killer, and an athletic one indeed. Don’t let there be an “After”. If there is an “after” you may not live to tell the tale!

HINT: Go for details, Craigslist killers will offer details, but not too many in order to avoid being too specific. This post, however, falls in between. We like our killers to be a little less vague. Though, the dots and dashes could take on many different Satanic meanings. The best advice would be to avoid dots and dashes. Exclamation points are okay, just a little too eager. We like our killers to play it cool………….//……—————__________________/…………………………..Chill out with the subliminal dots, man.

Life can be lonely, so it is easy to understand why someone would seek out a human companion to avoid this feeling. This was exactly the tactic used by Miranda Barbour, the real Craigslist Killer. She lured her victims in by using simple, and seemingly quite innocent appeals to the human desire for companionship as a strategy to lure in her victims.

She was no panty thief (as far as we know). She was no stalker or …//____, and was certainly not a Leo DeCaprio in the making.

The Verdict: KILLER!

Released in November 2013 by Ubisoft, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag could possibly be the best game of the year. The game’s expansive map has over 50 new locations and over 75 uncharted islands making it the biggest and most diverse game world ever build by Ubisoft. Besides how Assassin’s Creed IV it is unquestionably better than the previous series, there are many other features to this game that not only make it addicting, but also intuitive, entertaining, strategic, visually unparalleled, and competitive. It is one of those games where the fun is not simply in beating the game, rather, the fun is competing.

The story is set in the early 18th century Caribbean and follows the protagonist, Edward Kenway, a notorious pirate, throughout his adventures during the Golden Age of Piracy. The story is a prequal to its historical predecessors making Kenway to grandfather of Assassin’s Creed III protagonist Ratonhnhaké:ton. The story line begins when Kenway stumbles upon the conflict waged by the Assassins and Templars.

Assassin’s Creed IV differs from the previous series by focusing more on ship-based exploration in the open world map and sea combat. It retains the traditional elements of land-based exploration, melee combat, and stealth system. But the ship-based exploration and sea combat is definitely worth further discussion…it’s that incredible.

The graphics are stunning, as is the cinematic elements to the combat scenes. For instance, one can engage in combat and simultaneously a random rogue wave can hit, almost capsizing your (Kenway’s) ship and the opponent’s ship while physically changing the dimensions of combat by adding difficult weather, storms, and the elements associated with these conditions. It is because of these non-scripted cinematic moments that makes Assassin’s Creed IV that much fun to play.

Harpooning, which is basically hunting in the sea, is also a fun component of sea exploration that can make you fast money. You can kill sharks, whales, and other sea creatures and collect them for money. However, in order to go hunting, you must have harpoon upgrades. In any case, once you have the upgrades you can go hunting and many of these creatures, such as whales, will appear on your map. The bull shark is particularly fun to hunt due to its speed and the incredible graphics the hunt will prompt. If the hunt takes too long your line will break and the shark will get away. Watch out though! The shark may come back to bite you.

The ability to harpoon sea creatures also depends on the kind of upgrades you can purchase based on how much money you have. More money means you can upgrade Edward and his gear (harpoons and the boat). Larger creatures, such as humpback whales and great white sharks, require much better equipment, therefore, more money for more upgrades.

Another component is the ability to wrestle crocodiles. Though, this is not in the sea but lagoons and swamps, it requires no harpoon but rather the strength and skill of Edward with the help of his weapons. Once the crocodile is killed, you can utilize the skin to make gun holsters, upgrade your health, and other additional benefits.

The underwater expansion for this series is a significant historical addition that addresses the importance of underwater exploration in the history of piracy. To explore the underwater realm of ship wrecks and unknown treasures, you must purchase a diving bell: a real 18th century device used by pirates and sailors, allowing them to dive deep underwater. There are hidden dangers underwater and sea predators are a major concern such as sharks and eels but built in elements such as sea grass and ship wrecks can provide camouflage so you can stay out of the sight of predators and collect chests of loot.

Caves, that are filled with loot and unsuspecting enemies, are accessible through underwater passages. Caves are also accessible from land but underwater access just adds a super cool dimension to the experience.

Edward Kenway is a stealthy assassin and Black Flag really brings this to the forefront with the different moves and tactics that can be implemented. For instance, Edward can approach his target silently and while utilizing the dense vegetation, such as bushes and sea grass, as hiding places. He can also stalk his victims by leaning against walls and taking cover behind corners and under various objects.

When he is hidden, Edward can summon the attention of his target by letting out a faint whistle so not to attract the attention of others. When the target approaches, he can silently assassinate them without alerting those nearby.

The level of detail in this game is astonishing. Aside from the incredible graphics, strikingly blue/green sea, all kinds of wildlife and sea creatures dotting the shoreline, there are so many things you can pick up, collect, loot, and purchase. Even the conversations between pirates and between pirates and enemies offer much more insight into the pirate world than ever before. They are not the cold blooded killers that was always assumed. A perfect example of this when, early on in the game, Edward and his pirate crew shoot and eventually board an enemy ship. One of your crew members announce that no harm will come to them as long as they surrender their loot. Upon realizing that none of the ‘enemy’ crew speak English except for one who can just barely understand, your crew member repeats himself more slowly. This is interesting because it counters the idea that pirates would shoot these unknown enemies on sight, rather, this is showing that pirates are not simply the cold blooded killers everyone thought they were.

The story line is undeniably richer, as are the graphics, the map, and the overall experience of playing this game. You will, no doubt, enjoy this incredible progression as you play Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.

January 31, 2014 was the start of the Chinese New Year and the beginning of the Year of The Wood Horse. The Horse is part of a 12 year cycle of animals that make up Chinese zodiac and these animals also interact with the five elements: wood, metal, fire, water, earth. In Chinese astrology, Horse year is understood as a fortunate year that is fast-paced while bringing luck and positive things. But not everyone can be so fortunate…

What does the year of The Horse mean for your 2014? Will your 2014 end in Triumph or Tragedy? First, let us start with a few important questions that need to be answered, then, we will show you the keys for making your 2014 a success (and how to avoid complete financial ruin, health deterioration, and a failed love life).

The spirit of the Wood Horse is energetic, bright, warm-hearted, intelligent and able. These qualities of the Wood Horse define the nature of the year ahead. The Wood Horse year, like it spirit qualities, is a year of fast victories, unanticipated adventures, and budding romance. This year is one of high energy and production is rewarded. Decisiveness and action, not procrastination, will be the key to victory for this year. Fast action is and quick decisions are necessary in a Horse year! But be warned, even though the Wood Horse sets a fast pace for this year and lays the foundation for adventure, it is you that holds the reins to your 2014…

So what does this mean for your 2014?

First, figure out what your Chinese Solar Year Animal Sign is…

The animal you are depends on the year you were born in. Your 2014 will be determined by how the characteristics of your Zodiac animal interact with The Horse.

Horse: If you are a Horse, 2014 is your year to shine! But be careful, horses, because that impulsive and energetic manner of acting may bring you to financial ruin in this face-paced year of the horse. A Horse in the year of the horse is a potentially catastrophic combination; alternatively, if approached with restraint, this year can be very prosperous for horses. To make 2014 end in triumph and not tragedy, take extra care to think through decisions and be 100% sure before taking action, this way, horses can keep their impulsiveness in check and avoid rash decisions that can lead to financial and personal ruin. Don’t overspend, be thrifty, but take advantage of the opportunities at hand. So go for that promotion, launch that business, and reap the benefits of your hard work! This year will be all about reining in that free spirit and rely on your head not your heart. Opportunities will be gone in a gallop if the Horse does not act with caution and precision during this year.

Rat: The spontaneous energy of Horse year brings challenges to the thoughtful Rat who is Horse’s opposite. This is the year for the Rat to challenge his/her instincts by taking chances and a few well-calculated risks. Don’t let opportunities pass because you hesitated. However, this does not mean act on impulse and the year of the Horse will present this challenge. Big changes are in store for the Rat during this year and it is best for Rat’s to go with the flow, don’t stray away from game changing ventures, and embrace new plans.

Ox: Slow and steady wins the race. Strategize and deliberate while moving forward when good opportunities present themselves, however, take caution. The Horse likes to speed things up and is fast paced in decision-making but don’t get caught up in this. Remain true to yourself. Romantic excitement is in store for you this year so brace yourself! If you’re able to let go and relax, this romantic turbulence may actually be a fun ride!

Tiger: Opportunities are on the horizon for the Tiger in the year of The Horse and stability and security are pivotal for the tiger during this year. The upcoming opportunities include a promotion at work, a burgeoning romance, and the chance to truly help others will present itself this year. These are opportunities the Tiger would be wise to capitalize on. But Tigers should not let their guard down and think carefully and exercise restraint before making big decisions, especially when it comes to their relationships.

Rabbit: This is the year for you to be confident in yourself and know when it is right to stick to your own pace because the horse will try and speed things up but be true to yourself! However, this face paced year will present many opportunities, especially in your career, so take chances by trying to keep up with this faster pace and don’t let others set the direction. Take the lead! This will be a year for the rabbit to harness its entrepreneurial spirit but keep up the pace because this year will require endurance. To maintain endurance, a stable source of energy is required so that the rabbit doesn’t burn out. Work on crating a natural source of balance and energy through exercise, healthy eating, sleep, and even yoga.

Dragon: This year will be about proving yourself both in the workplace and in your personal life. Take on more responsibilities and try and network as much as possible because new opportunities may arise out of your social relations in addition to your job. Dragons are passionate and this year will test this passion in a burgeoning romance. There will be drama, sparks, and a few crossing of personal boundaries. Pursue these new romances but be careful not to let it interfere with your work life, especially if this romance begins at the office.

Snake: The snake has a knack for reading people and situations and it would be wise to put these skills to work this year. Instead of always taking the safe route, try and take chances this year and go for what you truly want. You are capable! Let go of that self doubt this year and pursue your goals. This year will be defined by your initiative to get the job done and others will recognize this. A promotion is in the horizon. In your personal life, test the waters and put yourself out this year. This is the year to relinquish your introverted tendencies and open yourself to new things and people. Go to parties, be more approachable, and don’t be afraid to go on that blind date! This year will present the Snake with many opportunities in both personal and work life. It is the Snake’s job to reap the benefits of these opportunities or they will soon be lost.

Goat: The year of the Horse strikes a perfect balance with that of the Goat. This year is the yang to your yin and the combination means you will have twelve good months and an overall lucky year. The key to success this year for the goat will be to take chances and be more adventurous. These small changes to your daily routine, accomplished through harnessing the energy of the Horse, will prove beneficial to you this year. Try to be more assertive at work, you have the talent just channel your confidence and step up to the plate. You won’t regret it! Promotions and raises are in your near future.

Monkey: This year will challenge your ability to read people, finish tasks, and stay on track. It is in your nature to be silly, even mischevious, but this behavior will have serious repercussions for you in your personal life and career. Rein in these tendencies to test people and be a trickster and try, instead, to learn more about yourself and try and create changes for the better. The ability to think quickly will prove very helpful this year for getting yourself out of sticky situations and coming out on top. Don’t view these situations as setbacks, rather, learn from them, improve on it, and change the outcome to better yourself. The fast paced year of the Horse will be a benefit to your already quick thinking skills. Your wit, intelligence, and problem solving ability are highly favorable for a year such as this one. Use these skills to show your superiors you have the ability and the drive to succeed and continue in that direction. The key will be to harness these skills and have the patience to let the positive results resonate and maintain themselves. In any event, this will be an exciting year for the Goat.

Rooster: The year of the horse will put a Rooster’s skills to the test. Be positive yet realistic. You are a natural leader and have a meticulous attention to detail. Use these skills to make your own luck instead of relying on opportunities to present themselves. This focus on the self instead of the external (other people, coworkers, your boss, your job etc) is necessary so that you are in control of your opportunities, performance, and the next step in your life. Remain sensible and practical while playing up your strengths. This will lead to the ultimate success for the Rooster.

Dog: This is the year for the Dog to shine! The Dog in the Year of the Horse is the perfect combination and get ready to experience twelve favorable months. Big opportunities will present themselves and be open to these possibilities. Periods of change are not your favorite situations but this may be necessary to get where you want to go. Do make time to play and have fun, this year is about balance and making sure you don’t overwhelm yourself with the pressure to take on every opportunity that presents itself. Stay true to yourself and take on responsibilities that will lead to where you want to go. What have you always wanted to accomplish? First, start there. Then, let the year gallop forward and opportunities will unfold.

Pig: In your career, look to action over analysis, movement over stagnation, and intuition over logic. When it comes to relationships, it is time to let go of the reins and remember that you don’t have to be in control of everything. This is your year to recalibrate, take chances, be more outgoing, have more fun, and dream big! The power is in your hands.
