Dragons...

I'd like to hear any comments about the (very distant, I'll admit) possibility of some truth behind all the dragon stories in europe. I was in Switzerland recently, at a place called Mt. Pilotus (totally gorgeous....) and at the peak they had a trail through some man-made caves (ready made gardrails) where they also had various plaques with text from a researcher who had collected recorded historic accounts of (supposed) dragon sitings, mostly from the 13 and 1400s. Apparently Mt. Pilotus was greatly feared for the dragons they thought were there...

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure 99% of this was hogwash...though our ancestors of 800 years ago surely believed in the reality of dragons.... Still though, what of the 1% possibility of some nugget of truth behind the dragon legends?

Any comments FReepers? Any links to this subject?

As much as some people want to believe that there were dragons, there has never been a dragon skeleton found. Dragons were sometimes used to describe comets and meteorites which is more believeable for me.
