When first diagnosed I felt the same way. But whatever you call it you are the winner! You have killed the virus and that is a mighty good thing!!!!!! Congrats!

According to the Golden Legend the narrative episode of Saint George and the Dragon took place in a place he called "Silene," in Libya. The Golden Legend is the first to place this legend in Libya[citation needed], as a sufficiently exotic locale, where a dragon might be imagined.

The town had a pond, as large as a lake, where a plague-bearing dragon dwelled that envenomed all the countryside. To appease the dragon, the people of Silene used to feed it a sheep every day, and when the sheep failed, they fed it their children, chosen by lottery.

It happened that the lot fell on the king's daughter. The king, distraught with grief, told the people they could have all his gold and silver and half of his kingdom if his daughter were spared; the people refused. The daughter was sent out to the lake, decked out as a bride, to be fed to the dragon.

Saint George by chance rode past the lake. The princess, trembling, sought to send him away, but George vowed to remain.

The dragon reared out of the lake while they were conversing. Saint George fortified himself with the Sign of the Cross,[6] charged it on horseback with his lance and gave it a grievous wound. Then he called to the princess to throw him her girdle, and he put it around the dragon's neck. When she did so, the dragon followed the girl like a meek beast on a leash. She and Saint George led the dragon back to the city of Silene, where it terrified the people at its approach. But Saint George called out to them, saying that if they consented to become Christians and be baptised, he would slay the dragon before them.

The king and the people of Silene converted to Christianity, George slew the dragon, and the body was carted out of the city on four ox-carts. "Fifteen thousand men baptized, without women and children." On the site where the dragon died, the king built a church to the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint George, and from its altar a spring arose whose waters cured all disease.[7]

Traditionally, the sword[8] with which St. George slew the dragon was called Ascalon, a name recalling the city of Ashkelon, Israel. From this tradition, the name Ascalon was used by Winston Churchill for his personal aircraft during World War II (records at Bletchley Park), since St. George is the Patron Saint of England.

wow, thanks rousoul for the story. myth. makes me sad that st george killed the dragon though. it's creepy the dragon had to die so the people would become christians! not too sure i like st. george? i'd choose the dragon over a bunch of christians any day! hahahahaha

puff the magic dragon lives by the sea, la lala lla autumn mist in a town called hallaleeeeeeeeeee oooooooooooo!

St. George is the Patron St. of a whole bunch of things...among them being lepers and people with incurable diseases. There is also said to be a Shrine to St. George which has a fountain...I think it is in Syria or Lebanon....it is claimed that if you drink the water you will be cured of any ailment.......
it is a curious combination of dragons and diseases...

I like your idea of "riding" the dragon.....since even after we are clear of the virus we still have some anitbodies in our blood...maybe controlling and riding the dragon is a "truer" image of what we actually do...whatever you call it.....I don't want it eating my liver anymore!

YOUR GO GIRL, GOT TO LOVE HER!!!!!!

pretty interesting about st george. i love knowing this kinda stuff.

yes, we're controling and riding the dragon! eeeeeeeeeeeeeehawwwwwwwwwww!
