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
