[captain_jtkirk]

Did you know, that a group of unicorns is called a blessing? And that a group of ravens is called a murder?

Did you dream that first one? Who invents a plural noun for a mythical creature?

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

I found it in a book.

You don't know unicorns aren't real.

Private

[gotgreenmagic]

Yes, okay, I'm sure that somebody here has an incredibly lame world that is full of unicorns.

...

Why were you reading about unicorns?

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

So I can prepare for discovering the Land of Unicorns.

[get_thebook]

I did know that. Rather peculiar when they come at the same time. Linguistically, anyhow.

AHO A LADY

[captain_jtkirk]

I don't believe we've been formally introduced. I'm James T. Kirk.

[get_thebook]

...You're a little young to be James T. Kirk, aren't you?

wat

[gotgreenmagic]

Lady, do people in your world get their name when they hit a particular age?

[peektuttut]

I thought unicorns were called a glory.

[captain_jtkirk]

Now you're just making stuff up.

[peektuttut]

I read it in a book, once.

[captain_jtkirk]

Our books are conflicting.

Mine's from the future though.

[19centconstable]

Yes, I did.

[Doesn't everyone? Know that? And frequently talk about groups of unicorns? No? George may be on the wrong boat...]

[captain_jtkirk]

And that a group of toads is a knot?

[19centconstable]

That I didn't know. I can't say I'd think a group of toads would be very pleasant.

[captain_jtkirk]

I can't say I'd be fond of a group of ravens either.

[drafting_dreams]

Really? Never heard that before.

[captain_jtkirk]

The things you learn while reading. Who knew. I feel like I should do it more often.

[drafting_dreams]

What did you read exactly?

[captain_jtkirk]

A book of weird trivia.

Apparently, you can't sneeze with your eyes open.
