why are there no dragons any more?
Did the dinosaurs REALLY die when a giant comet hit the earth? NO! That's a story told by people who don't trust god.
And dragons were renamed dinosaurs in 1841.
I went to school with a girl that really believed that.

Seriously, I went to a school with a girl that really truly believed it.
She believed that god had deliberately made the bones seem older to test people's faith.

I've always wondered if dragons came about partly because ancient people discovered dinosaur bones, theorised what a live one of these creatures would look like, and assumed that if there were bones around, maybe there were living versions of the creatures around in parts of the world as yet unexplored - hence 'Here Be Dragons'.

Oh, ok, it is funny.

It's amazing how the image of a griffin fits with the bones of a Proto-triceritops.

I also like the theory the dinosaurs were a practical joke that just got WAY out of hand

Hey, can I ask you a favr? (see what I did there?) I need to find out as much as possible about professional charity fundraising (not chugging, more like fundraising officer level) and I wondered if you knew anything, or had anyone at work who you could easily ask about which books/online resources/whatever would be a good place to start?

Although that says as much about sailors willingness to shag anything with a pulse after months at sea as it does for folklore.
