Berlin, Germany. The dragon statue in Berlin captures the scene depicted in a painting created by the Renaissance master Raphael - the same genius who painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. Odd, I didn't know that Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino and Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni were the same man.
Get basic facts right, people!

The Lucky Lady casino in Biloxi (since closed) had a dragon who shot fire out of its mouth every hour. Quite impressive.

Dragons, along with ghosts, are an almost universal legend throughout the cultures of human history. Wherever men have lived, there have been tales of dragons.
One might wonder why that is.

Dragons are also used to symbolize Comets and are used in symbolizing elements of alchemy (see Fulcanelli)

Seems pretty likely to me that St George killed a croc down in Libya. And that it would feast on sheep and women, who needed to get water from croc infested ponds and waterways.
