I always conflated the Horn of Africa with Cape Horn in South America and assumed it was the southernmost tip of Africa. One of today’s 10k, I guess, but it’s pretty obvious now that I think about it, that the actual Horn of Africa might look like a horn (as does Cape Horn)
This post gave me that realization; I'd never really seen something that illustrated what and where it was so I also in my mind thought it was the southern tip of Africa. TIL

I know it's a play on names, but north Madagascar looks pretty horny to me.

Makes sense that Djibouti is one of the horniest places in Africa. But what about Chad?

Given the amount of military bases there and the likely lack of women in them, this is probably accurate.

That's a common misconception, but it's actually the ear and not a horn. It's just a horse and not a unicorn.

Pretty close but the EAR is the part right above that.

Why are you calling the bottom half of a mouth a horn?

It pales in comparison to the Golden Horn!
