This is the most bizarre holiday of all. Who comes up with these things in the first place?

Well this holiday at least was invented by the Irish. They'd all wear green so that St. Patrick could tell who was on his side and who was against him and if you didn't wear green you could count on getting pinched all day by those who were.

Didn't you read earlier dude? St. Patrick stole from the Scottish to give to the Irish so they wore green to let him know who they were.

But wouldn't they have lived in different places and not need to color code themselves?

Not true, the Scotts wanted their gold back so they tried to pretend to be Irish to get the gold from St. Patrick.

Actually, I still think that goes to Christmas. It's basically a holiday that's come to represent a reverse felony.

Think about it, a big fat guy in a red suit inconspicuously sneaks into houses, leaves lots of valuables and good cheer, and escapes into the night with a booming laugh.

... I thought Christmas was about the birth of god or something like that originally?
