...more modern times, people have searched for evidence of unicorns, or in its absence, fabricated their own. Most notably was the hulking, alien-looking skeleton fabricated by a German scholar in 1663.

The ban had been instituted following a 2003 outbreak of mad-cow disease. Koreans accuse newly elected President Lee Myung Bak of caving to Washington after Congress linked a $29 billion free-trade agreement to the reopening of the Korean market, formerly the third largest worldwide for U.S. beef...
