Happy St. Patrick's Day!

OK well for this St. Patrick's Day I figured I give you a some info on the theme.

St. Patrick - He was a man in the late 4th century who brought Christianity to Ireland. Some believe that he drove the snakes from Ireland. While there are no snakes in Ireland it is most likely that there never were any.

Leprechauns - A type of male faerie from Ireland. They are very mischivious and should be avoided at all costs. They're generally very short, have red hair, and wear all green. They are also said to protect a pot of gold. If you are very lucky you can follow a rainbow to the pot of gold and take it from the leprechaun. Be warned though they can be very touchie about their pot of gold.

In America - In the US we tend to just drink lots of beer and eat lots of green food. It is an odd way to celebrate a basically catholic holiday but it's what we do.

I hope everyone has a fun but safe holiday. Have a nice day.
