happy St Padraig's Day/ Equinox
#18
RE: happy St Padraig's Day/ Equinox
Not that it will stop the Irish from drinking (nor should they) but "St. Patrick" seems like a bit of a phony, too. The Mitt Romney of his day!

http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/17/world/euro...cnn_latest

Quote:"The traditional story that Patrick was kidnapped from Britain, forced to work as a slave, but managed to escape and reclaim his status, is likely to be fiction: the only way out of slavery in this period was to be redeemed, and Patrick was never redeemed. The traditional legend was instigated by Patrick himself in the letters he wrote, because this is how he wanted to be remembered," he said.

and,

Quote:While very little is known about Saint Patrick, one legend has credited him with having driven the snakes out of Ireland.

However, most biologists maintain there never were snakes in Ireland.

More catholic lies, it seems.
