St.Patricks Day reprised

I refer you to my "St.Patrick's Day is Crowded" post of a year ago. Wow has it been a year already? Where has the time gone?

Additional Fun Facts to learn and know about St.Patrick:

A popular legend about St.Patrick is the one that tells of him driving all the snakes from Ireland. This is most likely a metaphor for driving pagan religions from Ireland, the serpent being a common symbol for such things at the time.

In fact, there have never been any snakes in Ireland, New Zealand, Iceland, Greenland, or Antarctica as well as many of the smaller islands. In addition, there are no known examples of snakes migrating to islands over water. And even if snakes would have slithered their way over to a northern island (like Ireland) during a time when it may have been connected to the mainland by a land bridge, the Ice Age would have made snake-sicles of them.

p.s. The above Irish beer panda is brought to you by the Scary Go Round shop. It's a so-so, but kinda funny sometimes, internet comic from the UK with cool images on their merchandise. Like several other comics that I have swiped images from, I found it because he did a guest comic for Dr.McNinja.
