Whats with the ball...

Post by drgn »

hey all
Just a quick question. In some pictures with dragons you often see them with a ball of some sort in front of them or in their hand. I was once told this was like a "toy" for the dragon to keep them occupied or happy. I also believe it was believed that a happy dragon brought you good luck where a mad dragon brought bad luck. This must be related to chinese dragons. Anyway, can someone verify this for me or have any links that talk about this? Ive googled and have not found anything specific about this topic.

Thanks

If you were to juggle a lion, and a house cat, the end result would look something like a tattered chunk of red fabric. The cat would scratch anything within reach, and the lion would just eat you. The lesson to learn? Make sure you eat your spinach.

It is what you want it to be. If you want it to be an egg, it will be an egg. If you want it to be a cystal ball, it will be a cystal ball. In all truth, the only way to find out what the sphere really is you must find the dragon in the picture ask him/her. Then you will know.

But if you do find that dragon, ask them, and it turns out to be a glare on the camera's lens, then we need to find the people who take their pictures and give them photography lessons... :?
