Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with ketchup....Well, unless maybe you're talking about Dragon Boats:

Dragon boat racing, while very popular in China, has spread to many other parts of the world. Just don't think about hopping out on your own for a quick spin!
