On Vashon Island (near Seattle, Washington), a tree grows carrying a rather unusual passenger - an old bike. Apparently some kid chained a bike to the tree decades ago and never picked it up, leaving the tree no choice but to grow around the bike.
The tree and island gained some level of notoriety when Berkeley Breathed, creator of Bloom County, wrote a children's book inspired by the bicycle eating tree entitled Red Ranger Came Calling.

- Well it started with a small bump on my butt...
The unicow will be held captive until it dies but will have lots of visitors taking pictures of it. If it's smart it will start charging for the pictures.
Maybe skittles can make a chocolate version and unicow can then make chocolate milk with sparkles! oh, yummy!
tri= three
