    A race even more ancient than man. A species as far related from man
    as a species can be. And yet ... the Angels of the Orient-- both male
    and female--have been known to mate with humans ... their offspring
    invariably becoming great rulers. 

    Breathes there a soul out there that has not heard of our Angel of
    the Orient? Nay nay sweet boids of yute. You have all heard of him
    ... or her. Enter ... ladies and gennulmen ... the Dragon. 

    The emperor Hirohito--it is said--was able to trace his ancestry
    back 125 generations to Princess Fruitful Jewel ... daughter of the
    Dragon King of the Sea. I mention this for I know without question
    that there are going to be skeptics out there who will snort in
    derision at the very concept of a human mating with a dragon. To you
    I say ... whaddya think ... you know everything? I myself can attest
    to strange moments in my life when I could have sworn ... but that's
    another story. 

    There is this. Dragons are universal ... existing in every culture.
    Before I show you the image I have of a ruby and diamond encrusted
    antique diamond Dragon brooch ... I think it only just that I
    acquaint you with some little known facts about dragons. First ...
    and most important ... there are only four circumstances which
    appear in a dragon's life that remove within him the ability to
    change shape. Otherwise they are--as it happens--masters of
    camouflage. There is that time when he or she is being born.
    Throughout the birth process ... he will adhere to the image of the
    dragon that he is. Then ... while he's sleeping ... he also retains
    his true shape. Again ... when he's angry. No time for shenanigans
    then ... he's too busy burning his enemies to a crisp. And last but
    not least--for those of you who suspect they might presently be
    involved with a dragon and need proof ... ye olde dragon cannot
    change shape whilst having sex.  

    This last bit of knowledge is extremely important for those of you
    who might have been living with certain doubts as to just who it is
    this person is with whom you've been having your little tryst. To
    you I say ... you have but to open your eyes at the propitious
    moment ... and the truth will be known.  

    For those of you who live in constant fear that we may well one day
    be overrun with dragons ... to you I say rest easy ... for it takes
    1000 years for a dragon's egg to hatch. And may I add one more thing
    ... it is indeed a most fortuitous thing that you are all interested
    directly or obliquely to jewelry ... for without this interest ...
    you might not be reading this Tidbits ... and were this to be ...
    the great knowledge imparted by this ezine with no thoughts of
    recompense or reward ... might be lost.  

    Now go ... go ... enough of this twaddle ... go ... look at this
    brooch. It is nothing short of magnificent. And forgive me if the
    coloring is not 100 %. I took it from a black and white.  

    For those of you who are new to this thing called Tidbits...may I
    direct you to my home page at www.tyler-adam.com where you will
    scroll down the left side menu till you get to the area that says
    Tidbits Graphics ... and then click on the link that says: Dragon
    ... where you'll see an image of an antique yellow gold brooch
    paveed with rubies and diamonds.  

And there ya have it.
That's it for this week folks.
Catch you all next week.
