Tickling the Dragons Tail

Tickling the Dragons tail refers to:
1. Doing something very dangerous that you may/may not get away with. Sometimes the dragon wins.
2. The origin of this phrase came out of the USA Manhattan project to develop the atomic bomb. Nuclear scientists would induce ever increasing levels of criticality - close to the point of a nuclear chain reaction - a very dangerous and lethal undertaking. The term "tickling the tail of a sleeping dragon" is accredited to the Nobel laureate Physicist Richard Feynman who was involved with the Manhattan project.
1. Pouring gasoline with a lit fag in your mouth is tickling the dragons tail.
2. Having random one-night-stand sex without a condom is tickling the dragons tail.

3. Secretly having sex with your wife's sister is tickling the dragons tail.
4. Using a screwdriver to separate beryllium and plutonium is tickling the dragons tail.

Dragonball GT

Taking place 10 years after the final Dragonball Z story, Emperor Pilaf finally manages to get all 7 dragonballs and makes a wish. Unfortunately for Pilaf, he gets flustered by the presence of Goku and wishes for Goku to be a child again so that Pilaf could "teach him a lesson." Pilaf gets his wish, and Goku is off on an interstellar trip to gather the 7 "Black Star Dragonballs" that can reverse the wish and return him to adulthood. The Black Star Dragonballs also have lethal side effects. After a wish has been granted, the Black Star Dragon Balls spread all over the galaxy. If all seven balls are not re-collected and returned to the planet on which the wish was granted, the planet will explode. Goku and Vegeta also turn Super Saiyan 4 in this series and also fuse to form Gogeta.
Dragonball GT aired in the U.S. on Toonami in 2003. Unlike the first two series, it was not based on the original Dragon Ball manga. There are a total of 64 episodes.
