Around the ragged rocks, the ragged rascal ran
So....Google is my homepage. Not gonna lie. One of my favorite things when my browser starts up is to see if Google has something fancy schmancy going on. And today I said to myself, "Surely there will be something wonderful for St. Patrick's Day!"
But no.

google.co.uk?
Normal logo.
...google.ie?
Finally! A design! And the alt text saying "Happy St. Patrick's Day."
And I'm sitting here thinking, ok. I get why the UK address wouldn't have a design, because you've got your Protestants up in Northen Ireland that might have a thing or two to say. But St. Paddy's is hugely celebrated in the US - even by Protestants - basically, everyone who likes a good brew, and even some who don't - so I really don't get it.
Look, I'm a recovering Catholic, I will carry that honkin' scar with me for the rest of my life, but St. Paddy's, like Christmas and Valentine's before it, has been widely secularized in the US, so if Google can do a little design for Easter, why can't they for St. Patrick's Day?
'Sall I'm sayin'.
