When things coming from North Korea couldn't seem to get stranger.

Well they just did.

"Archaeologists in North Korea have apparently discovered a mythical unicorn lair belonging to an ancient king, according to a highly dubious report from the state news agency."

Is it just me, or does North Korea seem to get more and more like Bizarro World each day?...

North Korea's greatest achievement is simply the birth of its leader Kim Jong Il, from whose agency all its many wonders have sprung. Official historians record that at the moment of Kim's birth, bears soared through the clouds, the mountains tearfully embraced and the moon sang a number of patriotic anthems. Since this great day North Korea has conquered the heavens, harnessed the atom, fried the chicken and defeated a superpower. Other personal triumphs of Kim's include holding the Olympic 100m sprint record from 1972 to the present day, winning twelve Nobel prizes, six Michelin stars and an Oscar for best adapted screenplay, defeating Hulk Hogan and David Blaine in hand to hand combat and competitive box standing respectively, and seven World Hot Dog Eating titles.

I am not a fan of the Norks, but the article said that they discovered a piece of rock with the words "unicorn lair" carved in it. That is not the same as the Norks claiming that they have found unicorns.

For all we know, there is a piece of rock with those words carved in it. People have been carving fiction in rocks ever since there were people and rocks.

Now if they found the ashes of a burned bush nearby........

The story could, of course, be a spoof in retaliation for The Onion story that Kim Jong-un was the sexiest man alive, which tricked China's Communist party newspaper, The People's Daily.

Let's not get too left field before it's time.

This is North Korea we're talking about here; how much further into left field can it get?...
