Here's what the last couple of weeks of "Game of Thrones" taught me.  If you want to be pretty much invincible, you don't need a great army, smart and tactical leaders, or sharp spears and swords.

No, if you want to put the fear of God in any and everyone in your path, you need a fire breathing dragon.  Okay, you say, "Well, you can't do that, can you?"

Think again, thanks to two Polish craftsmen (Thomas Grabarczyk and Piter Mojka), you can now buy six foot tall dragon statues – which actually breathe fire! – to keep at home, y’know, for fun, barbecues, and giving heart attacks to neighbors.

The duo claim the dragons can act as gargoyles on the side of fans’ homes to decorate gutters and transform their homes into something straight out of Westeros.
