Speaking of which, has anyone here ever read a book that gives a pseudoscientific dissertation on how dragons could have existed? A roommate from college showed it to me, and it was pretty fun. I think the basic premise was a) they were essentially hydrogen balloons with armored heads, which is why they hid in caves, b) they didn't hoard gold - their stomach acid was powerful enough to digest anything but gold, so if they ate a knight, they'd leave a pile of gold in their cave, c) they hunted using hypnotic eyes to lure prey towards the cave d) the eplosive power of the hydrogen combined with the high-powered acid explains why no skeletons remain.
Fun book.
