Senators too strong for Maple Leafs

Ottawa Senators fans caught a glimpse Sunday of what might be a potent scoring combination this season.

Brandon Bochenski scored three goals with an assist while linemate Jason Spezza added a goal and three assists to lead the Ottawa Senators past the Toronto Maple Leafs 7-4 in exhibition play Sunday night.

Dragons

Len says...

There was an interesting program on Discovery tonight. Some human remains wearing 15th century amour were found in a glacier in Europe, and then a dragon's corpse was found, a dragon's layer. It turns out there were prehistoric dragons at the time of dinosaurs, and just like the shark, tortoise, and crocodile, survived in the oceans. They had "flight bladders", like a second set of lungs, that would fill with hydrogen to help them take flight, since they weighed 900 pounds and the wingspan was only 20 feet. The dragons had incisor teeth, and grinding teeth, they would eat rock, specifically rock high in platinum deposits, and that platinum was used as a catalyst to ignite the hydrogen, and thus "breathed fire". They also had a false palette to prevent fire from turning back and scorching their lungs, just like a crocodile has one to prevent water from drowning them.

Is it merely myth and legend? I don't know, but fascinating nonetheless.
