Dragon's Blood
Since I was a child, I never fully saw dragons as reptiles, although I "knew" they were because that's what everyone around me thought. Also for some reason I always believed dragons to be warm blooded. Honestly I don't know why, but I still believe that. Well I talked to my friend about this recently (who loves dragons), and she told me they're reptiles and are cold-blooded. Well, I was just at "D.R.AG.O.N.S" (which is how I found this board) And throughout the site they kept saying they were warm blooded, just as I believed, but didn't really say why. Does anyone have a type of proof that shows they were warm blooded?

There really isn't any proof of anything, but inferences can be made. Dragons don't really fit into the reptiles classification anyway because they have too many limbs and they'd need hollow bones to fly.

sorry but if it were toxic would it not have the same effect or even a stronger one if it were to be applyed to wounds and mixing with ones blood...because injesting a substance has the same effect but slower...um I guess this is right if Im correct about the human body.
The earth shall be green and pure once again, fed by the blood of humanity.

i don't think dragons are reptiles or dinosaurs. i think they do belong to their own group. as for the cold blood or warm blooded i think it all depends on the type of dragon. like ice dragon would probly be warm blooded to keep it from freezing, while a fire dragon would be cold blooded to keep it from roasting. but thats all just my opinion.

I think you might go as far as to say Earth dragons may or may not have unusual properties, though I would hesitate to say magical...

describe magick...
heres my point...
basically anything that our science cant explain is automtically called magick. it could just be that our science isnt advanced enough to figure it out.
soo iut could be that dragons blood has some sort of chemical or element in it that we cant understand yet

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.

Any element above lead is basically radioactive, and any above what we've already discovered would disintegrate immediately.
In addition, most respectable scientists (i.e, those who are going to run various nuclear test reactors) would refer to the unknown as "undesignated information"

who says that it has 2 have large levels of radiation? just because scientist have only discovered stuff after lead doesnt mean that there isnt anything before it. the possibilities of stuff scientist havent discovered yet r endless!!!!!!!

Chalgrish: Wut2say is right. Scientist havent discovered everything yet. They even havent discovered all the types of animals that live on this planet. So until it is proven otherwise, you cant say that a Dragon cant live with radioactive blood. Science has been wrong before and it will be wrong agian because humans arent perfect so science isnt perfect.

Can rocks fall up? Can the sky be purple swirling circles? Can a tree grow with its leaves underground? Can a rock fall faster than a feather on the moon? The answer to all of these is no. Science is never incorrect, merely human's perception of it.

Science is nothing but tested theorys created by man; the same man that makes mistakes; like the one we are talking about!!
Nothing can be thouroly explained; This 'Science' being nothing more than a collection of random data, thrown togeather with verios flawed ideas into the our screwed up perception of reality!!!!
Does this 'science' explain what causes ghosts or the bermuda triangle No!! and will it ever in the next twenty years I DONT THINK SO!!!!!!
Not intill we accept that not everything can by scientificly explained!!!!!!!!!
Now my definition of magic is something mystical that cannot be explained exept by the sheer will of someone or something!!
Now that I have shed my own light on this subject my job is done..
