North Korea - They Found Our Unicorns!

Okay, you guys laughed at the lottery ticket thing, but now North Korea is saying they found a Unicorn Lair. Honestly. Now, hold on, how do they know, you ask? Well, there was a big stone sign. Sign said “Unicorn Lair” in big, engraved letters. So of course, it had to be true, even if the location was unimaginatively named. I mean, their former president was a self-proclaimed Demi-God who single-handedly wrote about 40,000 books in his lifetime, it makes sense, THIS is where the unicorns would be found, and they’d live in a place called “Unicorn Lair.” For those of you still looking for Jimmy Hoffa, all you need to do is find a sign that says, “Jimmy Hoffa Grave.” Foolproof.
This makes future discoveries much easier for science, anthropology, archaeology, et. al. – just look for an engraved stone tablet propped up in unusual locations. Since the Unicorn discovery, science has benefitted with the discovery of places called “Bigfoot Cave,” “Loch Ness Monster Bay,” and “World’s Greatest Doughnut Hole.” Though, this last discovery was called into question by being located in the same building as signs for the “World’s Greatest Coffee,” the “World’s Biggest T-Bone,” the “Best Stuff on Earth,” (which clearly has already been claimed by Snapple, though refuted almost immediately after tasting) and directly across the street from a “Speediest Parcel Service” and a “Jiffy Lube.”
Of course, there are drawbacks to such pioneering breakthroughs. Medical researchers on the lookout for so-called “DNA Signposts” – which indicate things such as genetic predisposition toward illnesses, hereditary immunity to certain allergens, or even things like hair and eye color – have discovered a number of indications that microbiotic pranksters have wasted no time in picking up on North Korea’s discovery. Cedars-Sinai has already discovered suspicious DNA markers which say, “Cytosine was here,” and “Telomeres do it on repeat,” while Johns-Hopkins researcher Elliot Bethpage was alarmed for another reason. On the end of every DNA strand currently undergoing chemical separation, he found a sort of genetic-level bathroom graffiti bragging “Helicase will unzip anything.”
“It’s funny because it’s true,” commented Bethpage.
No one is quite certain whether our DNA is announcing its own self-awareness, or if somehow the UT college students behind the “Zombie Attack” construction signs may be at it again, but one thing is clear – we’ll all remember where we were the day that unicorns were unequivocally proven to exist. By North Korea… who, I’m being told, has just claimed responsibility for every double-rainbow ever seen….
