FOOTAGE of a unicorn running though a wood has been exposed as an elaborate hoax to promote an upcoming science exhibition.
Ontario Science Centre in Toronto, Canada, claimed it had been sent the video by a group of intrepid myth hunters and was analysing the footage.

The centre decided to reveal the truth about the video - but not after causing a media storm.
"We've received calls from all kinds of people, predominantly women, and some confused news reporters, in response to the video,” The Science Centre spokesman Christine Crosbie said.
There are no unicorns? Even desperately wanting them to exist doesn't help? Could this also mean that there's no such thing as a "shovel-ready project" or a way to cover more people with health insurance while reducing the cost?
Well, let's be careful not to get carried away.
