The Magdeburg Unicorn: When Paleontology Goes Horribly Wrong
This is what happens when you let the intern assemble the fossil after a three-day bender. The "Magdeburg Unicorn" is basically the 17th century equivalent of putting IKEA furniture together without reading the instructions. Some German scientist found woolly rhino bones and thought, "You know what would be cooler than a rhino? A UNICORN WITH T-REX ARMS!" And nobody questioned it! For 300+ years, this abomination has been making actual paleontologists wake up in cold sweats. The horn placement alone is a crime against anatomy – because nothing says "scientifically accurate" like a spike coming directly out of the forehead at a 45° angle. Medieval fantasy: 1, Scientific method: 0.
