St George's Day

Who was St George, and why is celebrating him so contentious?

George is unlike most Christian saints in that he was not a man of peace but an armed warrior famous for his ruthlessness in battle, albeit at the expense of a dragon who was threatening a damsel. A country which has banned fox-hunting has as its patron saint someone famous for killing a reptile which was only doing what came naturally – namely breathing fire and threatening damsels.

I think the squirrel would take the dragon.
Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?
If it makes sense, DON'T do it.
