Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone! For those of you who aren't aware what that is, today is the day that some guy drove a bunch of snakes from Ireland. It's also the day for parades, leprechauns and public drunkenness!

So, who wants to get their drink on with me? I'm thinking a trip down land-side is in order!

Some guy!? His name is in the title of the holiday.

There are also no signs of snakes in Ireland during or before that era. The 'snakes' are a symbol for Druids or other pagans, which it makes far more sense for a saint to have dealt with.

Oh come now Alex. Can't you just live with the modern spirit of the holiday like the rest of us and go get incredibly drunk?

[infinitehistory]

I can and will but you do know the holiday was made in his honor. We're supposed to remember him.

[driftingpersona]

But we know you don't actually care about St. Patrick. You just care about the history being accurate. Lord knows why since you prove more than anything how inaccurate history is every other day.

Because, I admit it, professors are like the alpha-males of the nerd culture.

[driftingpersona]

Well count me in on the drinking thing! And yeah, you are an alpha male of nerd culture alright.

Leave it to you to correct me. I at least got something right, right? I did my research and everything since I figured you'd try and correct me if I was wrong!

Hey, most people wouldn't have known about the snake thing at all. Good job.
