So much for the mythical unicorn, being extinct and all.

A unicorn-looking deer was born in captivity in Italy. Breeders are saying the deer has a genetic flaw because his twin has two horns. Um, isn’t it possible the twin has a genetic flaw and the Roe Deer is the real deal?

Some think this kind of anomaly among deer is what inspired the myth of the unicorn.

A researcher at the park where the deer was born 1 year ago said that

this shows that even in past times, there could have been animals with this anomaly. [...] It’s not like they dreamed it up.”

“Generally, the horn is on one side (of the head) rather than being at the center. This looks like a complex case.”

All that explaining is taking the fun out off, for me.

Now if the deer had wings, too, that would be really cool.

The first time I’ve been in Italy I was amazed by so many scooters. Old, new, it doesn’t matter because you see them in different colors at every corner. I even heard people calling Rome as the scooter-capital of Europe.

But there seems to be a problem. The Italian government is keen on keeping a healthier air in their cities and one of the measures they are taking is paying owners to change their old scooters with new ones. Obviously the 2-stroke engine emits much more harmful pollutants than a new generation 4-stroke model and add the fact that there’s no catalyst and you have a big polluter.

This is why authorities will offer a 300 Euro bonus when buy a new scooter and ditch your old one. Of course, if you live in Italy.
