St.Patricks day for all non-Irish, let’s stop the madness

March 17, 2010 by Smoothape 8 Comments »

Hi All,

We celebrate St.Patrick’s day a little differently in Ireland, here are some facts for ya’all!

  • We wear Shamrock (It has 3 leaves, not 4). St. Patrick used it to explain the Holy Trinity
  • St. Patrick was not Irish, he was born in either Wales or France
  • No Irish person has ever eaten Corned beef and Cabbage! The Irish were the main exporters of Corned Beef, we can’t stand it and ship it out of Ireland
  • It’s not mandatory to wear green in Ireland on St.Patrick’s day, pinching someone could get you hit
  • It’s St.Patrick, not St.Patty or St.Pat
  • There are no snakes in Ireland – Snakes are cold blooded  - it’s too cold.
  • Potatoes originated from Peru and Chile
  • Riverdance was created by an Englishman – we are off the hook
  • Items you cannot buy in Ireland include – Lucky Charms, Irish Spring, Killians Non-Alcoholic Irish Beer, Corned Beef and Cabbage – see #3
  • The Czech Republic drink more beer per capita than the Irish, but the Irish spend the most on Beer / Wine / Spirits
  • When the Irish are not drinking they are writing and inventing
  • The Irish were the first to legally produce whiskey
  • Guinness was invented by an Englishman
  • More people live in Georgia than in Ireland
  • Ireland has been ruled by the English, French and Scandinavians (Vikings)
  • The Irish have invented – Radiotherapy – Yes, luckily for everyone in Elekta, we invented that for you. Lunar Charts (300 B.C.) don’t believe the Myans, The Beaufort Scale, Induction Coil, Hollow Syringe, Seismology, Stethoscope, Guided Missile, Submarine, Nickel-zinc battery, Portable defibrillator and we even discovered Pulsars
  • The Irish have won the most Nobel prizes for literature
  • Craic in Ireland means good conversation, not drugs.
  • Ireland is the only country in the world where windmills turn clockwise; in every other country, they turn counterclockwise.
  • The harp is Ireland’s official emblem. Ireland is the only country in the world to have a musical instrument as its national emblem.


Enough.

Slan,
