I too reported it, not to the police but to Air Marshall Sir Richard Knighton, as Chief of Air Staff, just before leaving for my air raid shelter. I was SURE we were facing an invasion by House Targaryen and that we would all be burned into crisps

tried to squelch pain with too much water, his stomach burst. Fie!!! In reality, he had lived there peacefully long before humans encroached on his habitat, deprived him of his natural food sources, What do you expect??? Well, at least the statue in his memory is impressive. Leave dragons alone!!
Silhouette of an iron dragon sculpture, black against blue evening sky, and a huge real flame bursting from his mouth. Dragon stands erect on hindlegs, head thrown back on his long neck

You get cuddly dragons everywhere, dragon statutes, dragon sculptures on houses (pics to follow)etc etc - I FINALLY thought I had found a place that's dragon-positive.
The window of a shop in Krakow: underneath a painted glass image of a monk, lots of cute toy dragons in blue, green and red a blue paper mache head of a dragon from the annual parade in Krakow; He has big friendly round eyes with big black eyelashes, big pointed teeth that look funny and a Mohican haircut like a punk

Cover of a book by Oliphant from 1885, titled the Law of the Horse. It was a standard textbook in many undergraduate law courses at the time

Did I wear thermal underwear? Oh yes. Was it suffient? Oh no. I'm not taking any more questions at this juncture. (Cue in Corrie version of Scotland the Brave)

Here an image of the Skull Nebula, from NASA's Hubble, seems appropriate
an image from the Hubble Space Telescope - thousands of stars that look just like a white skull against a dark background
