I think the myth of Dragons comes from those flying Dinosaurs but clearly there has never been a creature that was able to spit fire.

This is the one that troubles me. How could you even take the piss on something so obviously wrong? Even the ancients knew the bitch was round.
Now bigfoot. That shitâs for real.

âHey Judeâ was in fact written with Julian Lennon in mind. Here are some other, less known, Beatle song stories.
Back when they were playing in Hamburg, Paul solicited a prostitute, who told him she wouldnât take pounds sterling as payment, only West German marks, of which he was a tad short at that moment. âCanât Buy Me Loveâ was the result.
Of course, itâs well known that âFrom Me to Youâ was inspired by a dose of the clap John got while on tour, though luckily he was able to see âDr. Robertâ to get a quick cure.
There are lots of Beatles songs about sex, of course. They were young, randy Liverpudlians. âCome Togetherâ is a famous title, and we all know what John was singing about when he wrote âNorwegian Wood.â Heâs actually talking about his own willy, but he needed the extra syllable. George suggested âNorth English Wood,â but this was rejected, as were most of Georgeâs song ideas.
John wrote âIâm a Loserâ for Pete Best, but he liked the song so much he had the Beatles record it.
In 1968 John entered a celebrity hot dog eating contest to raise awareness for world peace. It didnât go so well, and âMean Mr. Mustardâ was the result.
A lot of people donât know this, but it was actually George Harrison who wanted to quite the Beatles first (even though itâs actually Ringo who made the first move to leave). He wrote the song âPiggiesâ about John and Paul and their reluctance to permit Georgeâs incomprehensible Indian-themed songs on any Beatles album.

Yeah I read it was due to the confusion of what Dinosaur bones actually where.

âThe World Seriesâ was a baseball league sponsored by âThe Worldâ newspaper.
That is how it got its name.
Like âThe Barclays Premier Leagueâ for instance.
Sponsors name in the title.

wasnât World Series a tobacco brand that sponsored baseball?
Minor technicality in regards to what they did, but the overall basis is correct that it was named after a sponsor

Where did you read that?
The New Your World Newspaperâs role in the use of the term âThe World Seriesâ is itself a myth, or at least something there is no contemporaneous evidence of. Most sources consider 1903 to be the first official championship series, but there had been about 20 years of unofficial championship series prior to that. There were many names given to these series with several derivatives of World Series used over the years in different publications, along with numerous other names. The 1903 series occurred alongside several other post-season series, but the one between the respective league winners, Pittsburgh and Boston, was promoted as the World Series, seemingly to put it above the other series being played.

History of China book and one on Dinosaurs I read. Itâs why they need to move quick in China today as many ancient remedies include âdragonâ bones.
Dragons didnât exist and never have, but beings like them have, it maybe assumptions on the authors part but it seems lĂłgical to me.

Thanks @mattyhurst. I havenât read enough on that area yet but would like to do so. It does sound logical. They probably discovered dinosaur bones much sooner than we in the UK did and I donât know when âdragonsâ where first talked of.

Atlantis was a plot device for a book by Plato.
Kraken was I think originally described as some island sized creature that would sink under the waves to drown people. More modern versions of the tale describe it as a giant squid or monster from the black lagoon type creature.
If I could remember it Iâd pass it on.

Thomas Moreâs âUtopiaâ was in part inspired by the allegory of Platoâs Atlantis. Although it (Utopia) was no more real than Atlantis, that didnât prevent various religious societies of the day from trying to raise money to send missionaries to Utopia.
