<evil grin> Actually I did know the dragon was the natural enemy of the elephant. For the dragon is a serpent and the serpent did offer the fruit of the tree to eve. ;-) Bet you didn't know 12th C dragons only had 2 legs though. :-)

The serpent offering the fruit, huh? I suppose all those tales of dragons capturing fair maidens makes sense in that context. Especially if you're one of those nutty religious types who believes that the fruit is a metaphor for sex. The maid is captured by the rapacious and then rescued by the chaste.
I'm still not sure how the elephant comes into it though.
---
I think it's a red herring - actually a real observation of african snakes that could strangle large animals - a piece of factual information that slipped in by accident amoungst all that metaphor. I bet the early greek descriptions show dragons as just a large snake with no legs.

Good work on the Line divisions articles. - Tobin 21:30, 10 Jun 2004 (EST)

Yep, I did all that while I was at work (a quiet night on the door can be very productive). It was actually really easy to draw up the images. Conrad Leviston 22:24, 10 Jun 2004 (EST)
Special Chars
I think the missing special chars are my fault (in fact I'm certain they are my fault). They are still in the database but the software is having some trouble understanding them.
I'll try to fix this on the weekend. - Tobin 01:34, 17 Jun 2004 (EST)
- Seems to be back in order now. Some pages changed since the problem started might still be messed up. - Tobin 12:36, 17 Jun 2004 (EST)
Categories
Hi Conrad, I notice that there is a heraldry category AND a devices category. Shouldn't a lot of the pages you are editing go in the devices category or should that one be removed? - Cian Gillebhrath 11:01, 15 Jul 2004 (EST)
