Unicorn lair 'discovered' in North Korea
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.The KCNA also go on to state that "the discovery ... proves that Pyongyang was a capital city of Ancient Korea as well as Koguryo Kingdom," which is handy. I think we can all agree that this is an awesome and completely credible story. After all, if you can't trust the official news agency of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to report things accurately, who can you trust, eh?
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."
