So what's St. Patrick's Day about?

Here i was thinking it was a four day weekend...

Now it's true that there are no snakes in Ireland, odds are there never were. St. Patrick being credited for driving all the snakes out of Ireland is a reference to him driving out all of the pagan practices. I believe that March 17 is actually his death.

o well, all i kno is that St.Patricks day is just another excuse for the Irish to drink lol, that and for everyone to act a little irish and drink too.

The green beer is a north american thing. In Ireland the land is green and the beer is black. Somehow In North America we drink green beer to celebrate St. Pattys day. I don't get it.

well they made the beer green in recognition of the Emerald Isle, thats also there are some green eggs and spam.. er ham

Actually, the experts couldn't agree on when St. patric died, so thye added the two dates together and voila! March 17 Smile

Which is why I think that this should last for a week or so, just so we can be more certain we celebrate his death.

What an excelent idea! Although I think there might be supply problems...
