I just want to point out that:

1) It's *my* universe
2) If *I* say it exists, it exists.. period
3) If *I* say it doesn't exist, it doesn't exist.. period
4) *I* am GOD here

So what if dragons can't exist in *this* universe. I'm not making Real
Life(tm), I'm making a whole *new* universe.

Besides, I'd rather just make stuff up rather than have to mathematically
justify everything.

PS - Sorry for all the asterisks, got carried away! :)
