Re: St Paddy\'s Day. Anyone doing anything?
Well, today, I'm celebrating St. Roderic's Day and for next few days St. Matilda, St. Louise de Marillac and St. Julian of Antioch. Think I'll rest on St. Patrick's then back at celebrating for St. Cyril of Jerusalem, St. Joseph and the double wammy on Saturday of both St. Herbert and St. Wulfran. Why limit yourself to one Saints day each year?

I'm not Irish, but I am of Welsh decent, and what the heck, it's only a few miles across strait there ya know. So, I'll be spending a little while with the boys down at the Elks club over a bottle or two of Killian's Red.

Re: St Paddy\'s Day. Anyone doing anything?
Well, you may not know this, but St. Patrick is the patron saint of engineers.
One thing of note that St. Patrick did was drive the snakes out of Ireland. Since snakes and worms both move on their bellies, this could be considered the invention of the worm drive. Worm drives are a very important component of many machines. Therefore, the adoption of himas the patron saint.  |

Re: St Paddy\'s Day. Anyone doing anything?
Unfortunately, there were no snakes in Ireland in the first place. At least that is what I read. Ireland was cleansed from snakes by the Last Ice Age and snakes did't find a way back. Why it is attributed to St. Patrick - no idea.
