CSIRO 'apologises' for lack of research on dragons

Good on the CSIRO for taking the time to pen a reply.

Gee, I really suck at these threads.

Anyway, update. CSIRO made her a 3-D Dragon

Thanks for posting this Hans!

It really strikes a cord, my grand daughter Isis loves how to train your Dragon, and of course Toothless.

Cheers,

Justin.

lol its a nice stunt / bit of fun ... I just would have been happier if it wasn't a dragon question / response ...

Seen this article labelled it "cute", yet can't help but wonder exactly what our ancients saw in the night skies or the like to make them believe dragons were real flying, fire breathing creatures or things. Comets or meteors is the first most likely scenario. Symbolically ancient descriptions could represent a vast array of observed events both in the skies and on the land. We certainly live in a curious world at the very least.

PR Goldmine... and just what I would expect. Brilliant work CSIRO

yep, saw this on the ABC news page. A Silver/Blue Dragon :) Was really nice of them to do that for a child. I like Dragons, have quite a few scattered around the house, even married one a long time ago (Just kidding). Knew they could do 3D models in plastic, but in metal, now that is something new.
