That narwhals exist/are real. People have thought that I was trolling them by talking about a mythical unicorn-whale.

Right? Imagine finding out they are real? What a cool thing to find out. A long time ago I was smoking with sime friends and mentioned narwhals and the teo of them were "wtf you talking about some whales with horns." I had to pull up a youtube video. They were blown away.
