St Patricks Day
-
Can somebody please explain, what that "St Patricks Day" is? When I saw Bob in green I checked the calendar - spring begins on 03/21, not on 03/16. What's up today? :confused:
Well, Bob is always green :laugh: I mean the funny green hat.

IIRC, it has something to do with Leprechauns and drinking lots of beer. It's an Irish thing. :rolleyes:

So basically, the leprechauns are irrelevant...? :-D -- Futue te et ipsum caballum.

St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland because he drove all the snakes out of Ireland (I think)

He is a young, fiery priest who spent some time in his youth as a slave and escaped, then was sent off to preach by his Bishop. The first tribe he encountered tossed him out, breaking his legs for good measure, and left him to die among a circle of stones on a hill. The Prydn (faerie) people found and rescued him, and over time he converted them to a form of Christianity. There seems to be a lot of parallels in the novel to St. Patrick's life.:cool: Will Build Nuclear Missile For Food - No Target Too Small
