The World Needs More Dragons!

You ever see that movie "Reign of Fire?"  The one where Matthew McConaughey fights a world full of dragon...?  It didn't work out too well at times for the human race.  But I still wish I had a dragon.

And apparently I'm not alone!

Scientists in Australia have apologized to a 7-year-old girl for failing to make her a pet dragon -- and promised to step up their dragon research. Sophie Lester, who lives in Queensland, wrote to the Australian national science agency asking for a pet dragon. The letter read: "Hello lovely scientist. Would it be possible if you can make a dragon for me? I would like it if you could but if you can't that's fine. I would keep it in my special green grass area where there are lots of space. I would feed it raw fish and I would put a collar on it." Staff at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization were quick to respond and posted on their website: "We've been doing science since 1926 and we're quite proud of what we have achieved. But we've missed something. There are no dragons. Over the past 87 odd years we have not been able to create a dragon or dragon eggs and for this, Australia, we are sorry." CSIRO has promised to make Sophie a 3D printed titanium dragon by way of an apology.
