When I was a kid and it was lightly raining and we had to go out into it, my mother would say ?You are not made of sugar. You won?t melt.?

Sounds like a very motherly thing to say indeed. Many moms I know say a variation of that.

Speaking of childhood dreams, I wonder how many kids had nightmares about a rhino eating their parents after reading James and the Giant Peach.

Our Japanese tour guide said that at the deer temple in Nara. "They have to shorten the horns of the deer so they won't get horny..."

A friend of mine has an apartment oppose the Boston Common and hears the various tour guides make the same joke about the Frog Pond there.

The tour guide will ask ?How deep is the Frog Pond??
Answer: ?knee deep. knee deep.?

It does work better verbally

The constellation Monoceros represents a unicorn. The rhinoceros, coincidentally, may have been one of the sources of unicorn legends.

The Hebrew word "re'em" is translated as "unicorn" in some versions of the Bible, though it is probably better translated as "aurochs" or "wild ox."

To be fair, unicorns were held to be real until relatively recently.

The Coelacanth was believed to have been extinct for 65 million years. But specimens were found off the coast of Africa in 1938

Pok?mon stands for Pocket Monster. So cute little Pikachu is really a monster.
