LOL, organic chemistry:

"Almost all chemical reactions involving living or natural matter fall under the realm of organic chemistry. "

"Organic chemistry started as a modern science in the 1700's when differences were noticed between reactions using components from living sources and those involving minerals. Swedish chemist Torbern Bergman noticed these differences and coined the terms organic and inorganic[1] Until 1816, scientists believed that there was some missing "vital force" only found in natural organisms which causes organic reactions to happen. This was disproved when chemist Michael Chevreul found that he could separate soap, which is created by adding a base to animal fat, into fatty acids and glycerin without the help of a "vital force". "

> Dragons are creatures frequently mentioned in a wide variety of text including folklore, myths, and the Bible. They share many characteristics with dinosaurs and are thought to be the same creatures. It is sometimes claimed that discussions of dragons are loosely based on creatures such as snakes (especially in European folklore), alligators, and crocodiles. However, this does not make sense, because snakes do not have legs like dragons, nor do they grow nearly as large as dragons.
