Default N. Korea discovers a unicorn lair!

Yet in what appears to be a genuine world exclusive, the inimitable Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) has now broken the incredible news that archaeologists in Pyongyang have discovered a unicorn's lair.

Or rather, the report says that they have "recently reconfirmed" the lair of one of the unicorns ridden by the ancient Korean King Tongmyong, founder of a kingdom which ruled parts of China and the Korean peninsula from the the 3rd century BC to 7th century AD.

The KCNA goes on to state that the location happens to be 200 metres from a temple in the North Korean capital, adding: "A rectangular rock carved with words "Unicorn Lair" stands in front of the lair."
Quote:
Archaeologists from the Academy of Social Sciences at North Korea's History Institute were credited with making the discovery.
I can't believe this! Just an absolutely astonishing discovery. This should raise their reputation among the international community.

Congratulations North Korea!

In related news, the N. Korean Ministry of Unicorns has just released a new hit single sure to compete with South Korea's Gangnam Style in world popularity:

It took them this long to find it when it said "Unicorn Lair" in front of it?

To be fair it's probably not the unicorn you're thinking of (aka the one in the article), probably a Qilin/Kirin.

What concerns me most here is the potentially catastrophic fusion of tyrannical ideology and unicorn power that we may be looking at. I don't expect the United Nations to remain silent on this given the current global economic climate and the prospective instabilities already inherent within regions like the Middle East. Saddam Hussein's government may be long ousted, but two of the three member nations of the "axis of evil" are still alive and well, and the west would be unwise to sit idle whilst one of these two nations openly commences research on the world's only known unicorn habitat.

If diplomatically mishandled, I foresee this empowering Jong-un with the leverage he'll need to blackmail the civilized world for another whole generation. It also marks the first time since the US election that I've feared the wrong choice may have been made, as my gut tells me that only a Mormon president would possess the wherewithal and overall knowledge of mysticism/lore that this situation -quite possibly the Cuban Missile Crisis of our age- will surely demand.
