I was kinda hoping this thread would contain some drunk and rowdy behavior so i could misuse some of my new powers ... ;P
Maybe after the parade =)
Fascinating fact: Ireland never had snakes, no fossils have ever been found of a snake on the island. St. Patrick never drove a single reptile off the island, despite the legendary claims.
However, the 'snakes' in question were, in fact, almost certainly Pagans. That's right... We're most likely celebrating a homicidal zealot's murderous rampage that drove all Pagans either into hiding or literally off the island.
History (and paleontology) is so fun. :-) --- But so is drinking - so of course I celebrate...
