Scottish Unicorn

The unicorn is the national animal of Scotland. Sure, if they wanted to pick a mythical creature for this title, they could have chosen their famous one--the Loch Ness Monster.

Well, maybe not very...there is a 1 in 4,400,000 chance that someone who is left-handed hurts themselves due to right-handed equipment being the norm. More than 2,500 lefties die every year due to this same issue, so be careful out there!
