Ha! According to le internet, almost the whole throne is made of narwhal ivory though, not just the legs. Poor narwhals! And actually I wonder what that says about valuing unicorn horn. Conventional Christian mythos of unicorns is that they are a metaphor for Incarnation, they are holy creatures (that only like maidens) and yet they make thrones out of them, supposedly. Masculine violence on a creature that only likes women and girls?

And don't feel bad, I was sad when I found out the narwhal tusk is actually a tooth that comes from their mouth, and not a horn out of their head

I sent a message to my friend apologizing for having such a long winded futile argument on her facebook page, and when I checked back, some dude very nicely articulated what was absolutely wrong with how the guy I was arguing with was talking to me. Of course since its another dude taking him to task, little argument, but nevertheless it cheers me up.
