Happy St. Patrick's Day!



    Top o' the mornin' to ye!


  Yes, for all our Irish readers I'd like to wish a very happy St. Pat's
tonight!

  For anyone not familiar with their history books, St. Patrick is the patron
saint of Ireland, famed for having freed the country from a plague of snakes.

  But he's not just a peripatetic reptile exterminator; he was also the first
man to bring Christianity to Ireland.

  Thus leading directly to centuries of murder, bloodshed and internecine
strife.








  ... Say, just exactly why /do/ we celebrate this every year?


;)

    cheers,
      DaveK
