P.S. Do excuse the lack of sense contained within the curious phrase ‘hoveringly menacingly’…. ‘hovering with menace’ would have done the job with less flair, but much more accuracy

I have consulted a mildly respected hornologist who informs me that it ‘resembles the horn of a young male antelope or adolescent goat’, adding that ‘the distinct difference in shading between the object in question and the hair surrounding it suggests that it is not a tuft’.
I don’t know whether this supports or contradicts my friend’s comments, but this is nonetheless an enjoyable illustration: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fb/Brockhaus-Efron_Antilopy2.jpg

As for somersaults, I’m not so sure, but I can imagine it hoveringly menacingly just a few feet off the ground

Another thought occurs to me…
I wonder if this celestial uni-dexter can do somersaults…?

Mr Recke, Is that a horn or simply a tuft?

I thought it was a quiff…
Eye-balls not withstanding…
I’ve had an operation for that banjo on my knee…

I think the single horn on the head would, however, invite unsavoury remarks

I wish I had an eye on my knee…
It would make a pleasant change from a banjo…
