>> OK, I have some problems with some of the details of the classic version of the Fafnir legend, but I've always loved the core of it, and you nailed that here. <<

Same here, hence my reversion to the core concepts. I often do that with myths and legends.

>> I find it particularly amusing that, in this case, due to most of the wealth being stored electronically, and sometimes only actually existing electronically, the resulting dragons aren't actually going to be able to hoard very much of anything at all, in real terms. <<

I imagine that would be quite frustrating for them, don't you? ;)

>> For some reason, this one strikes me as particularly cinematic. I'll bet the right screenwriter and director could make a hell of a summer blockbuster out of it. <<

Now that would be fun.
