CSIRO Scientists Apologize for Failure to Create Dragons

This apology doesn't go far enough. If you can't at least make a dinosaur to hold us over it just seems insincere.

How about this then?

The result was the birth of the CSIRO's first dragon at the additive manufacturing facility Lab 22 in Melbourne.

The CSIRO says the scientists there are used to printing anatomically correct insects, biomedical implants and aerospace parts, so they thought a dragon was possible.

"Being that electron beams were used to 3D print her, we are certainly glad she didn?t come out breathing them ? instead of fire," the lab's Chad Henry said.

"Titanium is super strong and lightweight, so Toothless will be a very capable flyer."

Looks like she got her dragon after all, at least in spirit.

Of course, if dragons existed anywhere it would have to be Australia, the land where in your average forest at least fifteen things can kill you. Including the forest itself.

Being Australian I can correct you by saying that our average forest does not have at least fifteen things can kill you... that's only our houses, in forests the number is in the thousands.

I remember watching this program that suggested that if dragons ever truly existed, they probably breathed fire thanks to a hydrogen air sac within their bodies, as well as titanium teeth that could create sparks to ignite the gas... sometimes I think these networks have too much time on their hands.

Totally off topic, but damn you for sneaking Cheatyface in with your avatar... I hate that card with a passion, mostly because of all the unhinged games we used to play back in the day. You shall be visited by no less than three Henchgoats. You have been warned.

OT: I fear if science ever does create dragons it will not turn out well. Especially if they somehow create true-to-form firebreathing monstrosities with armored scales and huge sizes... And a hunger for treasure which they'd probably take a crack at Ft. Knox just to get at the gold that may or may not be there.... Anyway if science does that, I'd advise anyone in the Louisville, KY area and surrounding Ft. Knox areas to get the hell out.

This is just a sad story. Way worse than finding out Santa isn't real.
At least then you still get presents...

T^T
Science...why have you failed me!?
I was told that if I believed in science hard enough, and gave them enough money, that anything could be possible.

It's just not fair....

Are....are you telling me dragons don't exist?
I don't believe you, Animal Planet told me so. [http://animal.discovery.com/tv-shows/other/videos/dragons-were-dragons-real.htm]

In all seriousness though, it would probably be for the best that scientists don't try to make dragons, I mean, I'm sure they've seen Jurassic Park, just imagine that, but worse.

So now the T-rex can fly and breath fire?

That sounds a thousand time better to me!

It could only be better if they were purple, and talked!

Sadly, the events of shadowrun never happened. Which is largely unfortunate, because I like those Dragons. Oh well, when she's older, she'll discover bad dragon.

...

Hoo-kay! Letting myself out now!

>_< You are, a "bad dragon product".
