Uni-what?

What's the deal with unicorns? I get the uni- part: they've got one. But corn? They don't have any corn. They've got a horn. One horn. So they should be called unihorns. Or monohorns. Or knightless jousters.

  1. Maybe the horn used to be an ear of corn, but then they realized that was weird, so the rows of kernels evolved into that spiraly horn texture. The only way to find out, I suppose, is to crossbreed some horses with some corn, and then see how the species evolves.
