> Caput Draconis:
Caput: Kaput -- "utterly defeated or destroyed; made useless 
or unable to function." {The Merriam-Webster Dictionary})  And, Draconis:  Draco (n) is.> 

Geoff:
Sorry, but it's Latin. Draco = dragon, Caput = head. Hence Caput 
Draconis = "head of the dragon".

One might also start drawing hints from the Hogwarts motto: Draco 
dormiens nunquam titillandus = "Never tickle a sleeping dragon".

Glad my Latin still comes in useful sometimes.

OK - now who's going to translate that as "Never tickle a sleeping 
Draco" and start a new Slytherin thread?
