I found this on a site that just has weird historical facts, so I'll add more as I find them, but I thought this was strange.

On July 4, 1776, King George III of England noted in his diary: "Nothing of importance happened today."

DRAGON BLESSING

May dragons bring you wealth
and guard your treasures
May they banish darkness and enlighten you
May female dragons grant you inner power
May the Dragon Queen
neutralize your enemies
May Dragon Spirits
give you power over Elementals
May weather dragons
bring rain at your request
May Ti'amat effect the changes you command
May Ishtar grant you Dragon Power
May Ishtar grant you Dragon Power
