A
much anticipated birth is
expected by many Chinese families after the New Moon on Monday, 23rd January
ushers in the auspicious Year of the Dragon. The only mythological beast in the
Chinese Zodiac, the Dragon
as a symbol in China dates back to 3000 BC
and stands for happiness, immortality, procreation, fertility and activity.
This year's babies will be Black Water Dragons,
considered to be calmer, more flexible and even more charismatic than other elements. In
previous dragon years, countries
such as China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore have
all experienced baby booms, and
preparations are in place for
this year's influx of baby dragons.

The Zoology Dragon. "Rather than, as has previously been thought, a slow process of evolution, we now know that all animals were created by the Zoology Dragon. Unfortunately, we also know that the current Zoology Dragon is a bit shit." [Flash.]
